1956 Adventure cards

Issued by Gum Products Inc., this 100-card set covered a variety of subjects. Featuring mostly non-sport like military or wild life, it also had a few sports related cards. The most famous being Max Schmeling's card, removed very early from the set for featuring the Nazi symbol, making it by far the scarcest and most expensive in the set.

The information on back of many cards was somewhat spotty and sometimes wrong. Card #39 claims Yamamoto was shot down in 1953 rather than 1943. Another in demand and interesting card is Boston Red Sox Rookie sensation Harry Agganis and mention of his death on back.

WORDS FROM & ABOUT

"I don't know if we're the oldest battery, but we're certainly the ugliest." - Yogi Berra in 1965

"I don't think (Warren) Spahn will ever get into the Hall of Fame. He'll never stop pitching." - Stan Musial

Baseball card collecting terms (part H-R)

High Numbers - vintage cards were issued in the �50s-�70s in a series. During the baseball season, the largest number of cards were made. As the schedule progressed into September, when there would be less interest in baseball cards , Topps for one, specifically decreased production and hence much less product was available. As a result, a scarcity-factor was created and a premium holds for these first type of "short-printed" cards.

Inserts - special randomly-inserted cards which are not part of the regular set. Many modern inserts are sequentially-numbered and rarer than the card sets into which they are inserted.

O-Pee-Chee / OPC - a subsidiary of Topps, this card issue was produced specifically for distribution in Canada.

Promotional Card - generally referred to as cards issued to show what the product will look like on release and intended to help spur future sales. Often called a "promo" card.

Reprint - cards issued to reproduce the originals. With the current trend of vintage reprints, the new versions have a distinguishing characteristic evidenced by numbering.

Restored - a card or piece of memorabilia which someone has tried to return to a "like-new" condition. A restored card is considered to be of very little value.

Rookie Card - any league-licensed, widely distributed card to feature a player in his first year of trading cards.
