1974 Topps Stamps Checklist & Values
The 1974 Topps Stamps set had (240) 1 x 1-1/2 inch stamps, 10 per team.
Issued in horizontal 12-stamp panels (2 rows of 6), the panels came in
different combinations of rows so there are actually 24 different panels
(288 stamps) in a complete 1974 Topps Stamps panel set.
Player collectors - your favorite may appear on 2 different panels !!!
Cursed with production problems, horrible centering and most
panels had little or no border on one side. Also perforations
on most panels are not in proper place.
1974 & 1969 Topps stamps are easily confused. With very similar player
selection, major difference is 1974's oval vs 1969's banner at bottom.
The 1969 stamps came in both vertical & horizontal panels.
1974 Mini-albums to house the stamps have been seen but may not have been
actually released by Topps while the 1969 albums are all over the place.
Packed with SuperStars with over 23 Hall-of-Famers including greats
like Nolan Ryan, Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench and Pete Rose. Also includes
seldom seen ROOKIES of Dave Winfield & Dave Parker.

How long have sports cards been around ? (part 2)
The first important and mainstream basketball set was issued by Bowman in 1948.
Other than a Topps set in 1957-58 and a 1961-62 Fleer set, there were no
mainstream basketball sets issued until Topps started producing yearly sets
beginning with their 1969-70 set featuring the rookie card of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,
who then went under the name of Lew Alcindor.
In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued
some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction
of Parkhurst's first set.
In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911,
modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
