1966 Topps Superman

Faster than a speeding bullet, More powerful than a locomotive,
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound,
Look, up in the sky!
It's a bird!
It's a plane!
It's Superman!
Yes, It's Superman!
Strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Superman, who can change thecourse of mighty rivers, bend steel in his bare hands, and who, disguised as Clark Kent, mild mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper,
fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice and the American way!

How long have sports cards been around ? (part 1)

The first baseball trading cards date back to 1869. For many years, baseball cards were packaged in packs of tobacco as a way to increase sales the same way that today prizes are packaged in boxes of cereal. In the 1920's and 1930's, candy and gum companies started packaging baseball cards in their products as well.

Baseball card production was virtually halted in the early 1940's due to paper shortages created by World War II. The "Modern Era" of baseball cards began in 1948 when Bowman Gum Inc. offered one card and one piece of gum in a pack for a penny.

The first important football set was the Mayo set featuring college players in 1984. Other than the 1935 National Chicle set no other key football set was issued until 1948 when noth Bowman and Leaf produced sets.
