1958 Topps Baseball Cards |
1954 Topps Scoops |
1954 Topps Scoops squeeze 1,000 years of history into a sharp (156) card set.
Presented as a newspaper of sorts, the set's wide-ranging subject matter still appeal to collectors today.
Released in a two series, each with 78 cards, 1954 Topps Scoops are much smaller than traditional trading cards.
Each measures 2 1/16" by 2 15/16".
Some cards originally came with scratch-off area meant to hide the image.
The subject matter in 1954 Topps Scoops covers a lot of ground. Early American history and recent wars figure very prominently.
Although the release focuses heavily on non-sports subjects, it isn't without a handful of sports stars.
Babe Ruth, Notre Dame's legendary Four Horsemen, Jesse Owens, Joe Louis, Bob Feller and Ben Hogan are among the athletes
included in the set.
Not surprisingly, the Ruth generates some of the highest prices.
The 1954 Topps Scoop trading card set is one of the more unique collectible sets as it spans more than 1,000 years of history
up to the 1953 baseball season. The set consists of 156 cards measuring 2-1/16” by 2-15/16” and
presenting a colorful painting on the front with a caption and date inside a white box.
Some cards were originally issued with a scratch-off area meant to hide the headline and can
therefor be found with and without the original coating.
The backs of each appeared as an open newspaper chronicling the event in black-and-white
including the headline, date and location at the top. The set delves into the history of
disaster with the San Francisco Earthquake (#1), Fire Sweeps Chicago (#2), Rome Burned (#89)
and Pompeii Destroyed (#91); war: Battleship Maine Blown Up (#4), Alamo Falls (#8),
U.S. Troops Reach France (#21), World War II Begins (#32), Victory in Europe (#57)
and Napoleon Loses at Waterloo (##115); achievement: Lindbergh Flies Atlantic (#3),
Statue of Liberty Unveiled (#11), Pony Express Starts (#46), Boy Scouts Organized (#123)
and Erie Canal Opened (#133); sport: Bob Feller Strikeout King (#27), Dempsey Defeats Willard (#39),
Babe Ruth Sets Record (#41), Ederle Swims Channel (#72), Notre Dame’s 4 Horsemen (#110),
Jesse Owens Races Horse (#128) and Ben Hogan New Golf King (#129), as well as many more events that shaped the world.

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.
