1955 / 1959 / 1960 Armour Hot Dog Coins
Checklist & Values
As a kid I loved shopping with mom hoping to find my next favorite
food - the one with baseball cards !!!
In 1955,1959 & 1960, kids could enjoy hot dogs with their cards
thanks to Armour's coins in 1955, 1959 & 1960.
The 1-1/2 inch plastic coins, almost the same each year, came in
many colors with several rare and perhaps even 1-of-1,
making a "master" set almost impossible.
Add in the variations and you can imagine the task.
See sportscollectorsdaily for great 1955,1959 & 1960 Armour baseball
coins article.

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.
