1969 Topps Team Posters Checklist & Values
The 1969 Topps Team Posters set was made up of 24 large
11 1/4" x 19 3/4" colorful posters, 1 for each team.
The posters, the largest printed item by Topps to date,
were very colorful picturing 9 or 10 players with their facsimile autographs.
The Posters were sold one per pack at .10 cents each.
Because they were folded many times and usually placed on walls
with tape or pins, high grade posters are very scarce.

1961 Fleer Baseball Cards

The 1961 Fleer baseball set contained 154 regular-sized cards
honoring careers of Hall-of-Famers Babe Ruth, Walter Johnson,
Lou Gehrig, Honus Wagner, Ted Williams and many lesser
known old-timers.
Released in 2 series, the 2nd series cards #89-#154 are somewhat
tougher to find.
Fleer was prevented from using current players by Topps'
exclusive rights, so they issued their Baseball Greats set using
retired players, managers, executives and the two league
commissioners. Luckily Fleer had their own exclusive rights deal
with Ted Williams, who quickly became the most in demand card in
the set.
Unfortunately the weak card design and retired players made it a
giant dud with kids and the product was not well received.
Cards were sold in five-cent packs and packaged with two special
inserts; a logo team decal and team pennant sticker of past World Series
champions.

Protecting and Storing your Card Collection
There are many different ways to protect, organize and store your sports cards.
Soft Sleeves
also called "penny sleeves" are the most basic protection for your cards.
Made of thin plastic, they come in packs of 100 and are very inexpensive.
Top Loads
are rigid plastic holders and a step up in protection over "soft sleeves".
Called top-loads because you place the card thru a thin opening at the top.
They come in many sizes for regular cards upto 8-1/2 x 11 for magazines and
even larger.
Screw-Down Acrylic Holders
These are sometimes used for better, more expensive cards. Small screws hold
two pieces of clear acrylic together. In a variety of sizes and thickness
that not only protect the card but can funciton as a paper weight or display
item.
There are also Single-Screw Screw-Downs that use only 1 screw to seal the holder.
They are easier to use and provide the same type of protectionas regular screwdowns
and they are also much less expensive costing as little as .30 in quantity
while 1 inch or 2 inch acrylic screw-downs can cost upto several dollars.
