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 !!!

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.
