1960 Nu-Card Baseball Hi-Lites Checklist & Prices
This 72-card set of large (3-1/4" x 5-3/8") cards called 'Hi-Lites'
were issued by Nu-Card, Inc. Printed in red and black, the card
fronts resembled a newspaper front page headline with photo.
The backs had trivia questions with answer and also sent you to
another card with more info.
Cards #1-#18 can also be found with just black printing and blank-backed.
They are quite rare ! The last time I checked, out of (200) 1960
Nu-Cards on eBay, NONE were the black only variations !
Other than #1 Ruth, black only cards are nearly identical
differing only in print color and copyright.
The black only cards had a "CVC" copyright while the regular
black/red issue was "NCI" (Nu-Card Inc.).

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.
