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.

Baseball card collecting terms (part G)

Grade/Condition Centering, corner wear, photo clarity, edges, creases, print flaws ... all combine to determine a card's condition or grade. Along with rarity/scarcity it is the major factor in a card's value.

Graded Card As values increased the condition of cards and the determination of fakes and alterations became increasingly more important. Various companies became "graders" of your cards. For a fee they would grade your card (usually on a 1 to 10 scale) and then placed in a sealed plastic holder with labelling of the vital information.

From past experiences, most people are NOT HAPPY with the grades they receive. To keep values up, graders can be extremely picky. Things you don't see, they do so don't be surprized when the NEAR MINT card you send in ends up with an EX or EX/MINT grade.

There are TOO many grading companies - if you do, do choose carefully. PSA / SGC / GAI / BGS are some of the many companies. It is good to know that getting a card graded by a company that people do not recognize or respect will usually just cost you time and money and not help you in any way.
