1960 Topps Baseball Cards
Checklist & Values

1960's top rookie was Red Sox great Hall-of-Famer Carl Yastrzemski. Another Hall-of-Famer was pitcher Jim Kaat. Kaat had an incredible baseball career. Check him out on Wiki and you'll also see why he gets my vote as the greatest golfer of all-time.
Another rookie card is Hall-of-Famer Willie McCovey with the Giants and then Frank Howard who was a GIANT (of a man, he was huge). Such a great crop that future .363 hitting Batting Champ Tommy Davis barely makes this list.
As was normal back then, the 1960 Topps baseball card set was released in series and ended up with the usual very scarce high #s. Making it even more interesting, like their 1959 issue, Topps again put their special All-Star subset, stuffed with Hall-of-Famers like Mantle & Mays, in the very scarce high# series.
Two last things and I'll let you go.
Cards #375 thru #440 came in (2) variations. The more common gray-backs and the somewhat scarcer white-backs. Cards #507 thru #572 were quite scarce high #s.

Protecting and Storing your Card Collection

There are many different ways to protect, organize and store your sports cards.

Soft Sleeves also called "penny sleeves" are the most basic protection for your cards. Made of thin plastic, they come in packs of 100 and are very inexpensive.

Top Loads are rigid plastic holders and a step up in protection over "soft sleeves". Called top-loads because you place the card thru a thin opening at the top. They come in many sizes for regular cards upto 8-1/2 x 11 for magazines and even larger.

Screw-Down Acrylic Holders
These are sometimes used for better, more expensive cards. Small screws hold two pieces of clear acrylic together. In a variety of sizes and thickness that not only protect the card but can funciton as a paper weight or display item.

There are also Single-Screw Screw-Downs that use only 1 screw to seal the holder. They are easier to use and provide the same type of protectionas regular screwdowns and they are also much less expensive costing as little as .30 in quantity while 1 inch or 2 inch acrylic screw-downs can cost upto several dollars.
