1974 Topps Baseball Cards |
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. 
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.
