1955 / 1959 / 1960 Armour Hot Dog Coins
Checklist & Values


1955 Armour baseball Coins ad
When I was a kid, I loved grocery shopping with my mom in the hope that I would find my next favorite food - you know the one, of course the one that came with baseball cards !!! Well thanks to Armour, back in 1955 kids were able to enjoy hot dogs along with their baseball collectibles.

1955 was the first of 3 years that Armour released near exactly similar coins, 1955, 1959 & 1960. The 1-1/2 inch plastic coins came in a large variety of colors including several rare with perhaps even some 1-of-1's !!!

Six "common" colors (aqua,navy,pale green,orange,red & yellow) along with the "scarce" colors (black,dark green,lime green,pale blue,tan, gold,silver,pale orange & pink (some call peach)) made collecting a "master" set nearly impossible. Add in the many variations (some found 50 years after release) and you can imagine the task.

For a detailed article on the 1955, 1959 and 1960 Armour baseball coins be sure to check out sportscollectorsdaily.

How long have sports cards been around ? (part 1)

The first baseball trading cards date back to 1869. For many years, baseball cards were packaged in packs of tobacco as a way to increase sales the same way that today prizes are packaged in boxes of cereal. In the 1920's and 1930's, candy and gum companies started packaging baseball cards in their products as well.

Baseball card production was virtually halted in the early 1940's due to paper shortages created by World War II. The "Modern Era" of baseball cards began in 1948 when Bowman Gum Inc. offered one card and one piece of gum in a pack for a penny.

The first important football set was the Mayo set featuring college players in 1984. Other than the 1935 National Chicle set no other key football set was issued until 1948 when noth Bowman and Leaf produced sets.
