Checklist & Cards


Perfect for the team collector!
Marking the 50th anniversary of its 1954 baseball card set, Topps released this reprint edition that mirrored thier original set with some differences.
* Cards were in today's standard 2-1/2 by 3-1/2 size
* Cards were on thin glossy stock rather.
* Topps added (8) cards to the set making up for some of the superstars missed in the original, including Roberto Clemente, Harmon Killebrew pre-rookies.
* Since Upper Deck had exclusive rights to Ted Williams, the set was missing both of his cards (#1,#250).
Upper Deck issued 1954 Archives cards for Mickey Mantle and both missing Ted Williams cards as scarce inserts in their 1994 packs.
* Topps also issued a scarcer gold parallel set with gold facsimile autographs and team logos. Gold cards were inserted only 1 per pack.

A great way to experience the 1954 Topps set and it's huge rookies like Hank Aaron, Al Kaline and Ernie Banks without spending $20,000 !!!

Baseball card collecting terms (part C)

Cabinet Card Were oversized trading cards featuring paintings issued mostly 1910-1915.

Card Show is a gathering of dealers & collectors looking to buy/sell/trade sports cards and memorabilia.

Card Stock is the material a card is printed on. Usually paper-based, today companies play with the card stock and sometimes it appears to be wood or leather or see-thru acrylic ...

Cello Pack is a card pack whose wrapper is see-thru plastic. Usually the top & bottom cards are seen. Unopened cello packs showing major stars and rookies sell for heavy premiums.

Centering is the balance of the borders: top/bottom & left/right. On perfectly-centered cards, top/bottom borders match as do the left/right borders. Centering is presented as a set of numbers & directions and often included with the grade. Perfectly-centered is "50/50 t/b" AND "50/50 l/r". As centering gets worse, one number increases and the other decreases. For example: 90/10 t/b is considered extremely off-center top to bottom. The numbers add up to 100 (50/50, 60/40, 90/10 ...).

Certificate Of Authenticity (COA) A document used to verify legitimacy of a collectible. NOTE: Keep in mind that COA's are easier to fake then autographs.

Common A card of a non-star player is considered a "Common" as opposed to cards of a star players or specialty/subset cards such as league leaders, teams cards, World Series cards...

Condition (Grade) Centering, corner wear, photo clarity, edges, creases, print flaws ... all combine to determine a card's condition or grade. Along with rarity/scarcity it is the major factor in a card's value.

Crease Defect usually caused by bending the card. Hard to see, or not, a crease lowers the card's grade (VG or lower) and greatly diminishes it's value.
