on vintage baseball, football, basketball, hockey, sport and non-sports cards.

1954 Topps Scoops

1954 Topps Scoops squeezes 1,000 years of history into a sharp (156) card set. The cards, slightly smaller 2-1/16" x 2-15/16", were released in (2) (78) card series. Each card had a colorful painting and caption with date on front.
Cards were issued with strips of black coating on the surface to conceal the image. The coating could be scratched off to reveal the picture. Cards can be found with and without the coating. Mostly a non-sports set, the most popular are the eleven sports related cards, like Babe Ruth, Jesse Owens, Notre Dame's Four Horsemen, Joe Louis, Bob Feller and Ben Hogan.
Backs are similar to a newspaper's front page with newspaper's name, headline, date & location at top. The set seemed to focus on disasters like the San Francisco Earthquake, Fire Sweeps Chicago, Rome Burned, Pompeii Destroyed (#91); and wars: Battleship Maine Blown Up, Alamo Falls, U.S. Troops Reach France, World War II Begins, Victory in Europe & Napoleon Loses at Waterloo plus many other events that shaped the world.

Are sports cards valuable ?

Like all collectibles, over time some sports cards go down in value, others go up and some can even become very valuable. Card values are based on many factors: player popularity, scarcity, condition & collector interest. A card can be scarce but without demand value may not be great.

Q: What are some ways to collect cards ? * Complete sets by year & issue
* Cards of your favorite player
* Cards of your favorite team "TEAM SETS"
* Rookie cards
* Hall-of-Famer cards
* I even had a girlfriend that collected Don Mossi (checkout his ears), players whose last name start with "Z", and the Brett brothers George & Ken (she had a crush on George).
* "TYPE COLLECTING" (everyone should at least do a little of this !)

"Type Collecting"
is collecting at least one of each different "type" of issue. On scarcer issues you can add a less expensive common while on others you can select your favorite player or team.
