1960 Leaf Baseball Cards

The 1960 Leaf baseball card set featured 144 regular-sized high-gloss photo quality cards. Back then Topps had a monopoly on baseball cards packaged with gum or candy so Leaf packaged their cards with marbles. The marbles were from Sports Novelties Inc. and the cards, called 1960 Leaf, bear copyrights by Sports Novelties Inc.
Hall of Famers Luis Aparicio, Orlando Cepeda and Jim Bunning were the top stars in the set. The set came in two series, with the second series high numbers (#73-#144) produced in very limited quantities.

Scarcest card in the set is the corrected version of Jim 'Mudcat' Grant (#25). The more common error variation pictured Brooks Lawrence on the front with Jim Grant's info on back.
To promote this set, Leaf also produced (8) very scarce Big-Head PROOF variations.

There were also (3) different variations of the back of Hal Smith's card #58. Leaf also produced (8) very scarce and extremely expensive, Big-Head PROOF variations to promote their set.

How long have sports cards been around ? (part 2)

The first important and mainstream basketball set was issued by Bowman in 1948. Other than a Topps set in 1957-58 and a 1961-62 Fleer set, there were no mainstream basketball sets issued until Topps started producing yearly sets beginning with their 1969-70 set featuring the rookie card of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who then went under the name of Lew Alcindor.

In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction of Parkhurst's first set.

In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911, modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
