Autographed 1961 Topps Baseball Cards Checklist & Values
*** THESE ARE ALL AUTOGRAPHED ***
The following autographs come with auction house LOA's
(Letters of Authenticity) from the hobby's top authenticators
PSA/DNA, James Spence, UDA/Upper Deck Authenticated and/or GAI !!!
The 1961 Topps baseball card set (#1-#598) only had 587 cards
because of missing numbers. Also there are 2 cards #463
(#463 Braves Team card was to be card #426).
Ugh !!! The 1961 Topps capless players !!!
Picture your grand-dad. Without a cap. Life was obviously
much tougher back then. Baseball expansion created the problem.
Los Angeles Angels added, Washington Senators became Minnesota
Twins, and Washington got a new Senators franchise.
The autographs actually make the "capless" cards more attractive !!!

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.
