1996 thru 2000 SPx baseball
Checklist & Values


From 1996 thru 2000 SPx baseball was Upper Deck's top end premium issue. What made them excel was the advanced printing technology. From year to year SPx cards varied but always offered something special from die-cuts, holograms, metal looking insets, various levels of scarcity of parallel issues, limited edition autographed base cards, limited edition serially numbered labelled Rookie cards, relatively scarce insert sets ... which gave them a premium look and feel. Most were on a super thick premium card stock, several times the weight and thickness of regular baseball cards.

1955 Armour Baseball Coins ad

As a kid I loved shopping with mom hoping to find my next favorite food - the one with baseball cards !!! In 1955,1959 & 1960, kids could enjoy hot dogs with their cards thanks to Armour's coins in 1955, 1959 & 1960.

The 1-1/2 inch plastic coins, almost the same each year, came in many colors with several rare and perhaps even 1-of-1, making a "master" set almost impossible. Add in the variations and you can imagine the task.

See sportscollectorsdaily for great 1955,1959 & 1960 Armour baseball coins article.

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.
