1967 Topps "WHO AM I?"

The 1967 Topps "Who Am I ?" set was one of Topps most unusual and interesting sets and a favorite of both sports and non-sport collectors. IT'S EASY TO SEE WHY !!!

The player's image on front was covered with a scratch-off disguise of silly hair, moustaches, hats, noses... plus a clue to help kids guess. There were more clues on back.

NO disguise coating then NOT MUCH VALUE.

1941-1942 War Gum (R164)

The 1941 War Gum set of (132) 2-1/2" x 3-1/8" cards were issued Gum Inc. picturing war events, generals and heroes. It began in 1941 and continued into 1942.

The cards were quite similar to Gum Inc.'s Horrors of War set, but with tamer images and more focus on the bravery of the allied forces. Horrors of War seemed to focus more on the atrocities of our enemies.

The backs reminded you to "Buy War Bonds and Stamps for VICTORY." Sadly, this was the last great bubble gum card set issued in the U.S. before the war effort cut off supplies of essential materials.

Baseball card collecting terms (part C)

Cabinet Card Were oversized trading cards featuring paintings issued mostly 1910-1915.

Card Show is a gathering of dealers & collectors looking to buy/sell/trade sports cards and memorabilia.

Card Stock is the material a card is printed on. Usually paper-based, today companies play with the card stock and sometimes it appears to be wood or leather or see-thru acrylic ...

Cello Pack is a card pack whose wrapper is see-thru plastic. Usually the top & bottom cards are seen. Unopened cello packs showing major stars and rookies sell for heavy premiums.

Centering is the balance of the borders: top/bottom & left/right. On perfectly-centered cards, top/bottom borders match as do the left/right borders. Centering is presented as a set of numbers & directions and often included with the grade. Perfectly-centered is "50/50 t/b" AND "50/50 l/r". As centering gets worse, one number increases and the other decreases. For example: 90/10 t/b is considered extremely off-center top to bottom. The numbers add up to 100 (50/50, 60/40, 90/10 ...).

Certificate Of Authenticity (COA) A document used to verify legitimacy of a collectible. NOTE: Keep in mind that COA's are easier to fake then autographs.

Common A card of a non-star player is considered a "Common" as opposed to cards of a star players or specialty/subset cards such as league leaders, teams cards, World Series cards...

Condition (Grade) 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.

Crease Defect usually caused by bending the card. Hard to see, or not, a crease lowers the card's grade (VG or lower) and greatly diminishes it's value.
