1960 Topps Baseball Cards Checklist & Values
1960's top rookie was Red Sox great Hall-of-Famer Carl Yastrzemski.
Another Hall-of-Famer was pitcher Jim Kaat. Kaat had an incredible
baseball career. Check him out on Wiki and you'll also see why he
gets my vote as the greatest golfer of all-time.
Another rookie card is Hall-of-Famer Willie McCovey with the Giants
and then Frank Howard who was a GIANT (of a man, he was huge).
Such a great crop that future .363 hitting Batting Champ Tommy Davis
barely makes this list.
As was normal back then, the 1960 Topps baseball card set was released
in series and ended up with the usual very scarce high #s. Making it
even more interesting, like their 1959 issue, Topps again put their
special All-Star subset, stuffed with Hall-of-Famers like Mantle &
Mays, in the very scarce high# series.
Two last things and I'll let you go.
Cards #375 thru #440 came in (2) variations. The more common
gray-backs and the somewhat scarcer white-backs. Cards #507
thru #572 were quite scarce high #s.

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.
