Q5: What are some useful to know baseball card collecting terms ? (part 1) Certificate Of Authenticity - a document that is used to verify the legitimacy of a collectible. In reality, it is worthless, unless it shares a counterfeit- proof serially-numbered hologram that is attached to the item, and the certificate bears the signature of a notary public, or written verification by the manufacturer. Common - any card which is not short-printed, an insert, a bonus card, or has an insertion ratio. In short, the cards that comprise the manufacturer’s basic set. Condition - the physical appearance of a card/collectible. Centering, corner wear, photo clarity, edges, the presence of foreign material, signs of misuse are the critical components. Along with rarity/scarcity, it is a major factor in determining the value of a card or collectible. Crease - an obvious paper wrinkle defect usually caused by bending the card [i.e.- the result of being tortured on a rear-wheel bicycle spoke during the early ‘50s and ‘60s]. Die-Cut - an insert/parallel card that differs from the basic card by a process of the manufacturer "cutting" portions of the card revealing a special design. Recent issues may also be individually and serially-numbered. Baseball, Football, Basketball and Hockey Memorabilia Cards (T8) 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.

1963 Fleer The 1963 Fleer Baseball 67 card set was an attempt by the Fleer Company to break the Topps monopoly on Bubble Gum Cards. In an attempt to get around Topps exclusive agreement with MLB, the 1963 Fleer Baseball Cards were issued with cookies instead of bubble gum. The 1963 Fleer Baseball Cards were intended to be issued in multiple series, but Fleer was run out of business shortly after the first series was released when Topps sued Fleer. Due to either the deep pockets of Topps or the lack of sales - Fleer quickly gave up and never issued another baseball card. The 1963 Fleer Cards are attractive and are packed with stars !!! Along with the stars the two scare 1963 Fleer Short Prints, #46 Joe Adcock and the checklist card make this a fun set to complete. Another interesting feature of this set is card #43, the Maury Wills Rookie card. Wills, the 1962 N.L. MVP had a huge disagreement with Topps when Topps didn't thing Wills was worthy enough in 1961 to have a baseball card. Wills did not allow Topps to make his card till 1967 although he was pictured on a special 1960 World Series card featuring Luis Aparicio stealing 2nd base. Wills is pictured trying to make the tag. Other top cards in the 1963 Fleer set are: Brooks Robinson, Willie Mays, Carl Yastrzemski, Sandy Koufax, Roberto Clemente, Don Drysdale and Warren Spahn.

HARTLAND STATUES Hartland produced it's first baseball statues back in the early 60's. Sports Collectibles Digest stated that the 1960's Mickey Mantle Hartland is the single most popular plastic sports statue ever produced ! In 1988 Hartland created their 25th Anniversary Editions which, except for some very minor details, were identical to the original. Hartland partnered with America's leading hobby-periodical publisher, Krause Publications, to create the SCD Authentic series offering the original 18 as you've never seen them with each statue dramatically different from prior releases. They are amazingly beautiful and exquisitely detailed in their road uniforms with painted pinstripes and wood grained bats making them a unique collectible opportunity for both veteran collectors and Hartland newcomers alike. Limited to only 2,500 pieces each, these statues are BRAND NEW, MINT and in THEIR ORIGINAL BOXES !!!
