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. Some were issued with a scratch-off area meant hiding the headline so some cards are found with and without the coating. 1954 Scoops covered many major events & people throughout history. Mostly a non-sports set, many top sports stars like Babe Ruth, Jesse Owens, Notre Dame's Four Horsemen, Joe Louis, Bob Feller and Ben Hogan were included.
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.

Baseball card collecting terms (part G)

Grade/Condition Centering, corner wear, photo clarity, edges, creases, print flaws ... all combine to determine a card's condition or grade. Along with rarity/scarcity it is the major factor in a card's value.

Graded Card As values increased the condition of cards and the determination of fakes and alterations became increasingly more important. Various companies became "graders" of your cards. For a fee they would grade your card (usually on a 1 to 10 scale) and then placed in a sealed plastic holder with labelling of the vital information.

From past experiences, most people are NOT HAPPY with the grades they receive. To keep values up, graders can be extremely picky. Things you don't see, they do so don't be surprized when the NEAR MINT card you send in ends up with an EX or EX/MINT grade.

There are TOO many grading companies - if you do, do choose carefully. PSA / SGC / GAI / BGS are some of the many companies. It is good to know that getting a card graded by a company that people do not recognize or respect will usually just cost you time and money and not help you in any way.
