1966 Topps Superman

Faster than a speeding bullet, More powerful than a locomotive,
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound,
Look, up in the sky!
It's a bird!
It's a plane!
It's Superman!
Yes, It's Superman!
Strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Superman, who can change thecourse of mighty rivers, bend steel in his bare hands, and who, disguised as Clark Kent, mild mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper,
fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice and the American way!

1973 Topps Baseball Cards
Checklist & Values

Topps added several interesting cards in 1973 starting with card #1, a special card honoring the All-Time Home Run Leaders. Also new was the All-Time All-Star subset featuring Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Lou Gehrig and other all-time greats on their own special cards.
There are tons of variations (more on that later) and again issued in series with slightly scarcer semi-hi's (#397 to #528) and scarcer high #s (#529 to #660).
TOP ROOKIES were Mike Schmidt, the Phillies super-star Hall-of-Famer and the White Sox relief pitcher Goose Gossage. Not Hall-of-Famers but pretty darn good were Rookies Bob Boone and Dwight Evans.

Baseball card collecting terms (part D-F)

Die-Cut A special card that differs from a basic card by "Die-Cutting", cutting away portions of the card to create a special design. Most are serially numbered & limited.

Error Card Baseball card history is filled with error cards, many of them very interesting. Hank Aaron is on 2 of my favorite error cards. Aaron's 1956 Topps card action photo shows Aaron sliding home but it is actually Willie Mays not Aaron. Topps again goofed on Aaron's 1957 "reversed negative" card showing Aaron batting left-handed.

"Error Cards" are usually found early in print runs and often corrected. When this correction happens a VARIATION is created. Some variations are extremely interesting and very expensive while others are totally boring and you wonder why they were even made.

Extended Set Also frequently called Update Set or Traded Set.
They are sets issued after the original release to update the regular set with new and traded players.

Facsimile Autograph is an autograph printed on a card to show what the player's actual signature looks like. They are not "real" autographs.

Factory Set are complete sets usually in special boxes produced by the manufacturer. "Hand-Collated Sets" are sets collectors have put together card by card from packs.
