1933 Goudey Baseball Cards |
1969 Topps Stamps |
The 1969 Topps Stamps set contained (240) 1x1-7/16 inch unnumbered stamps
with player's photo and name,team & position inside a colored banner.
The stamps were released in both horizontal (2 rows of 6) & vertical (2 columns of 6).
1969 Topps Stamps are often confused with Topps' 1974 issue.
The 1974 Stamps have ovals rather than banners at bottom and
came only in horizontal 12-stamp panels. 
To store the stamps, Topps issued a set of 24 mini albums,
one for each team. The booklets were the same size as a baseball card
and held a complete 10-stamp team set.
More fun for kids, the back cover had facsimile autographs of
all the players in the team set. The design is nearly identical to the
Topps 1969 football 4-in-1 stamp booklets. The first important and mainstream basketball set was issued by Bowman in 1948. Other than a Topps set in 1957-58 and a 1961-62 Fleer set, there were no mainstream basketball sets issued until Topps started producing yearly sets beginning with their 1969-70 set featuring the rookie card of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who then went under the name of Lew Alcindor.
In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction of Parkhurst's first set.
In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911, modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
