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.

Are sports cards valuable ?
Like all collectibles, over time some sports cards go down in value,
others go up and some can even become very valuable.
Card values are based on many factors:
player popularity, scarcity, condition & collector interest.
A card can be scarce but without demand value may not be great.
Q: What are some ways to collect cards ?
* Complete sets by year & issue
* Cards of your favorite player
* Cards of your favorite team "TEAM SETS"
* Rookie cards
* Hall-of-Famer cards
* I even had a girlfriend that collected Don Mossi (checkout his ears),
players whose last name start with "Z", and the Brett brothers George &
Ken (she had a crush on George).
* "TYPE COLLECTING" (everyone should at least do a little of this !)
"Type Collecting"
is collecting at least one of each different "type" of issue.
On scarcer issues you can add a less expensive common
while on others you can select your favorite player or team.
