1956 Topps Football
After they acquired Bowman, Topps issued its first NFL licensed
football set issuing (120) brightly colored cards.
Team cards were a nice new addition to the earlier Bowman offerings.
Also issued was a checklist and (5) special contest cards.
Most of these special cards were either tossed away or sent in
to win prizes making them quite difficult to find.
Like its early 1950's baseball issues, these cards measured in at 2-5/8" x 3-3/4", sligtly larger than the regular modern issued cards.
Each team had (9) player cards and the team card.
To make the number of cards work with the card-sheet size,
Topps printed all the cards twice on each sheet, EXCEPT the
Washington Redskins and Chicago Cardinals who were short
printed (single printed)and are more difficult to find.

1972 Topps Baseball Cards |
1977 O-Pee-Chee (OPC) Baseball |
High Numbers - vintage cards were issued in the ‘50s-‘70s in a series. During the baseball season, the largest number of cards were made. As the schedule progressed into September, when there would be less interest in baseball cards , Topps for one, specifically decreased production and hence much less product was available. As a result, a scarcity-factor was created and a premium holds for these first type of "short-printed" cards.
Inserts - special randomly-inserted cards which are not part of the regular set. Many modern inserts are sequentially-numbered and rarer than the card sets into which they are inserted.
O-Pee-Chee / OPC - a subsidiary of Topps, this card issue was produced specifically for distribution in Canada.
Promotional Card - generally referred to as cards issued to show what the product will look like on release and intended to help spur future sales. Often called a "promo" card.
Reprint - cards issued to reproduce the originals. With the current trend of vintage reprints, the new versions have a distinguishing characteristic evidenced by numbering.
Restored - a card or piece of memorabilia which someone has tried to return to a "like-new" condition. A restored card is considered to be of very little value.
Rookie Card - any league-licensed, widely distributed card to feature a player in his first year of trading cards.
