   1960 Leaf Baseball Cards   
 
 
 
The 1960 Leaf baseball card set featured 144 regular-sized high-gloss 
photo quality cards. Back then Topps had a monopoly on baseball cards 
packaged with gum or candy so Leaf packaged their cards with marbles.
The marbles were from Sports Novelties Inc. and the cards, called 
1960 Leaf, bear copyrights  by Sports Novelties Inc.  
Hall of Famers Luis Aparicio, Orlando Cepeda and Jim Bunning were the 
top stars in the set. The set came in two series, with the second 
series high numbers (#73-#144) produced in very limited quantities.  
 
 
Scarcest card in the set is the corrected version of Jim 
'Mudcat' Grant (#25). The more common error variation pictured 
Brooks Lawrence on the front with Jim Grant's info on back.  
To promote this set, Leaf also produced (8) very scarce Big-Head 
PROOF variations.
  
 
There were also (3) different variations of the back of Hal Smith's 
card #58. Leaf also produced (8) very scarce and extremely expensive,  
Big-Head PROOF variations to promote their set.
