1974 Topps Stamps
Checklist & Values

The 1974 Topps Stamps set had (240) 1 x 1-1/2 inch stamps, 10 per team. Issued in horizontal 12-stamp panels (2 rows of 6), the panels came in different combinations of rows so there are actually 24 different panels (288 stamps) in a complete 1974 Topps Stamps panel set.
Player collectors - your favorite may appear on 2 different panels !!!
Cursed with production problems, horrible centering and most panels had little or no border on one side. Also perforations on most panels are not in proper place.
1974 & 1969 Topps stamps are easily confused. With very similar player selection, major difference is 1974's oval vs 1969's banner at bottom. The 1969 stamps came in both vertical & horizontal panels.
1974 Mini-albums to house the stamps have been seen but may not have been actually released by Topps while the 1969 albums are all over the place.
Packed with SuperStars with over 23 Hall-of-Famers including greats like Nolan Ryan, Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench and Pete Rose. Also includes seldom seen ROOKIES of Dave Winfield & Dave Parker.

1981 Topps Baseball Cards
Checklist & Values

For the first time in many years, Topps had to share the baseball card market with others. Donruss and Fleer entered the market with their own 1981 sets. When collector's heard they were thrilled. When they saw the Donruss and Fleer cards they were many sighs of disappointment.
1981 will always be remembered for "FERNANDO MANIA" !!!
Fernando did not make the Hall-of-Fame and he even had to share his rookie card with another player, but he had more impact during the 1981 season then anyone.
Other rookies included Hall-of-Famers Tim Raines and Harold Baines. Kirk Gibson's rookie is also here. Not a Hall-of-Famer, but who can forget his home run off the then unhittable Dennis Eckersley ?

Baseball card collecting terms (part B)

Bazooka Bazooka Bubble Gum put baseball cards on the back of their boxes from 1959 thru 1971. Complete boxes and panels can get extremely costly. Most kids back then could not afford complete boxes of bubble gum at one making Bazooka cards quite scarce. I actually don't recall ever obtaining a Bazooka card directly from a box as a kid. Do you ???

Black Sox Scandal Name given to the the most famous scandal in baseball history after the 1919 Chicago White Sox versus the Cincinatti Reds World Series when 8 White Sox players were accused of throwing the series. Details have remained somewhat unclear. The players were acquitted of criminal charges but 8 players still received a lifetime ban from professional baseball including the All-Time great "Shoeless" Joe Jackson.

Blank-Back a card in which nothing is printed on the back. These cards are usually not in packs and are either "PROOF ISSUES" or were removed from the factory in some way.

Blanket a term used for collectibles in the 1910's made of fabric .

Border is the part of the card that surrounds the photo or image.

Bowman was a card manufacturer in the 1940's and 1950's that was bought out by Topps. In 1989 Topps started issuing cards using the Bowman brand.

Break a term used to indicate the opening of a set, pack, box or case.

Break Value is the total book value of each card added up individually. The break value of a set is usually way, way more than the value of the complete set.
