1967 Topps "WHO AM I?" Checklist & Values
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 (44) card set featured history's most important figures
PLUS (4) of baseball's top stars: Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth,
Sandy Koufax & Willie Mays !!! Do you recognize them ?
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.
Shakespear, Abe Lincoln, George Washington, Einstein,
Queen Elizabeth, Joan of Arc, Julius Caesar, Columbus, Jackie Kennedy
& more...

- "I don't think (Warren) Spahn will ever get into the Hall of Fame. He'll never stop pitching." - Stan Musial
- Warren Spahn has won the most career games by a left-hander, with 363 wins.
- He also holds the record for most wins by a pitcher who played entirely in the post-1920 "live-ball" era.
- A 17-time All-Star !!!
- Won 20 or more games in 13 seasons !!!

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.
