1975 Topps Baseball Cards
Checklist & Values
The first think you notice about Topps 1975 baseball cards is their
very colorful and thinck borders, many say TOO colorful, TOO thick.
Anyway, this set doesn't show up on too many best designed baseball
card lists.
But what it lacked in design, it made up in other ways.
First was the AWESOME ROOKIE cards for Hall-of-Famers George Brett,
Robin Yount, Jim Rice, Fred Lynn and Gary Carter.
Then there was the SUPER POPULAR MVP subset. One of my
favorite Topps subsets, there were now many great cards picturing
players like Mickey Mantle & Willie Mays.
It didn't stop there. There were several Record Breaker cards featuring
greats like Hank Aaron & Nolan Ryan. Plus the always loved League Leaders
cards and even more .
AND THE BEST PART --- 1975 Topps Minis !!!
Yes, a whole new set, exactly the same, but a slightly smaller size !!!

1979 Topps Baseball Cards
Checklist & Values
Highlights of the 1979 Topps baseball card set are:
* Hall-of-Famer Ozzie Smith's rookie card,
* (2) Bump Wills variations; Rangers and the ERROR Blue Jays,
* Special All-Time Leaders with Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Nolan Ryan...
* Packed as (37) or more cards featured Hall-of-Famers !!!
Given all of the above, the 1979 set is very affordable.
TOP ROOKIES were Hall-of-Famers Eddie Murray, Paul Molitor,
Alan Trammell & Jack Morris.
NOTE: Ozzie Smith is by far the most value card in the set.
Unfortuantely, for some reason, it suffered from poor sheet cutting
and most Ozzie rookies are well off center.

From the days when inserts were neat !!!
1966 Topps Rub-Offs have colorful, attractive pictures, which
by rubbing the reverse side with a coin (quarters worked best),
could be applied to surfaces like desks, books or walls.
YEAH - A great item for kids - a HUGE nightmare for parents and teachers !!!
In 1961 Topps issued a similar item called "Magic Rub-Offs".
There were 36 different in that set. Topps went way further with their
1966 issue of (120) rub-offs (100 players & 20 pennants).
The rub-offs were inserts, one per 1966 Topps wax pack.
The 2-1/6 inch by 3 inch rub-offs were printed in rolls
of 20 different.
Apparently some kids placed rub-offs of certain players on their bats
to help them hit like the player. I wish I would have known ...
I could have used the help.
COMPLETE STRIP DETAILS:
(5) Hall-of-Famers: Sandy Koufax, Juan Marichal, Joe Morgan, Frank Robinson & Ron Santo
