1966 Topps Superman
Faster than a speeding bullet, More powerful than a locomotive,
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound,
Look, up in the sky!
It's a bird!
It's a plane!
It's Superman!
Yes, It's Superman!
Strange visitor from another planet who came to Earth with powers and
abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Superman, who can change
thecourse of mighty rivers, bend steel in his bare hands, and who,
disguised as Clark Kent, mild mannered reporter for a great
metropolitan newspaper,
fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice and the American way!

1956 Topps DAVY CROCKETT
*** The Ballad of Davy Crockett ***
Born on a mountain top in Tennessee
Greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so he knew every tree
Kilt him a b'ar when he was only three
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier
Fought single-handed through the Indian war
'Til the creeks was whipped an' peace was in store
An' while he was handlin' this risky chore
Made himself a legend for evermore
Davy, Davy Crockett, the man who don't know fear
He went off to Congress an' served a spell
Fixin' up the Government an' laws as well
Took over Washington so I heard tell
An' patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell
Davy, Davy Crockett, seein' his duty clear
When he come home his politicking was done
Why the western march had just begun
So he packed his gear an' his trusty gun
An' lit out a-grinnin' to follow the sun
Davy, Davy Crockett, leadin' the pioneer

How long have sports cards been around ? (part 2)
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.
