1964 Topps Stand-Ups
Checklist & Values
One of Topps most popular 1960's test issues !!!
Blank-backed, unnumbered & standard size - cards were called
"Stand-Ups". "Stand-Ups" refers to a type of card that was die cut around
the player's picture. The background could be folded so the player's picture
could "stand up" alone.
1934-36 Batter Up and the 1951 Topps All-Star sets are 2 other popular
stand-up issues.
22 of the 77 cards are single prints making them twice as scarce and much
higher in demand.
Thanks to the green and yellow borders and that most cards have been folded,
1964 Stand-Ups extremely difficult to obtain in high grade.
On the left and right are images of a pack and box.
Set packed with 19 Hall-of-Famers including the Top-5: Mickey Mantle,
Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente, Hank Aaron & Sandy Koufax.

1974 Topps DECKLE EDGE
Checklist & Values
This scarce 72-card test issue set was released with very limited
East Coast distribution making them quite scarce.
Officially simply called "Topps Baseball Photos", their serrated or "DECKLED"
edge gave them the name they go by today.
The 2 7/8" x 5" inch cards were sold in 2 card packs with gum or 3 card
packs without for 5 cents.

Fronts are similar to b&w Exhibit Postcards from the 50's
with photos and facsimile autographs.
The backs make this very scarce test issue more interesting !
They feature handwritten script of player's name, team, position & date
and location of the photograph as well as a mock newspaper article.
This was Topps 2nd "Deckle Edge" issue, their first being the smaller
and more common 1969 Topps Deckle Edge inserts in 1969 Topps packs.
Variations of 1974 Topps Deckle Edge exist,
making this issue more fun and challenging to collect.
Backs can be found in gray or a much scarcer white.
Also, more limited proof versions with non-scalloped edges exist and
can be found with and without card numbers.

Autographed 1961 Topps Baseball Cards
Checklist & Values
Following autographs have auction house LOA's (Letter of Authenticity) from
hobby's top vintage card authenticators for auction houses PSA/DNA & James Spence !!!
The 1961 Topps baseball card set (#1-#598) only had 587 cards
because of missing numbers. Also there are 2 cards #463
(#463 Braves Team card was to be card #426).
Ugh !!! The 1961 Topps capless players !!!
Picture your grand-dad. Without a cap. Life was obviously much tougher
back then. Baseball expansion created the problem.
Los Angeles Angels added, Washington Senators became Minnesota Twins,
and Washington got a new Senators franchise.
The autographs actually make the "capless" cards more attractive !!!

Baseball, Football, Basketball & Hockey Memorabilia Cards
It's cool to have a card of your favorite player.
It's even cooler to have your favorite player's jersey or bat.
Well just think how cool it is to have a card of your favorite player
embedded with a piece of his bat or jersey that he used in a real major league game !!!
That's the concept that Upper Deck dazzled the hobby with in 1996. Ever since the
hobby has been in love with Game-Used memorabilia cards and they have become a
staple of sportscard collecting. Originally they were very scarce inserts with
less than 1 every few boxes. Now these insert cards are so popular that
many products include one in every pack.
Be sure you visit our Game-Used card section with nearly 1,000 available at
discount prices.
