Checklist & Values
Another Hit Topps Test Issue from the 1960's !!!
1962 Topps Bucks were one of Topps most creative Test Issues.
Each 1-3/4" x 4-1/8" "Buck" resembled U.S. currency but instead of
George Washington staring at you, it could be Mickey Mantle !!!
1962 Topps Bucks were sold in 1 cent wax packs and were
NOT inserts in 1962 Topps wax packs.
Most exist with a fold line witgh some unfolded proofs around.
Set packed with Hall-of-Famers featuring MICKEY MANTLE, Willie Mays,

1974 Topps & Parker Brothers Football
In 1974, along with cards in wax packs, Topps also issued the football
cards used in Parker Brothers' "Pro Draft" board game. The (50) Parker Brothers
cards are skip numbered from the 1st 132 Topps cards and are all
offensive players, mostly from the skill positions.
Most Parker Brothers cards are similar to the ones from packs except on the back
where most Parker Brothers cards had 1972 stats instead of 1973 and (2)* rather
than (1)* in the copyright line. BUT NOTE: Some regular Topps cards have
both * and ** --- It's complicated!
Six of the cards have totally different designs; three All-Pros and three with
horizontal designs that were changed to vertical to match the rest of the cards.
Team checklist cards were randomly included in the Topps wax packs.
TOP ROOKIES: Joe DeLamielleure, Ray Guy, Bert Jones, Harold Carmichael,
John Matuszak, Ahmad Rashad, Chuck Foreman, John Hannah and actor Ed Marinaro.

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.
