1952 Topps Wings
The 1952 Topps Wings card set holds a unique place in
the history of trading cards. Released by Topps, the set
contained 200 cards featuring various aircraft from around the
world, mostly of those from the Korean War and early Cold War.
The cards featured a wide selection of planes and aircraft,
reflecting the fascination with aviation at time.
Each card had a detailed colored illustration with it's name.
The backs included a "Friend or Foe" quiz along with
specs and description of the aircraft making the cards both
educational and collectible.
In essence, the Topps Wings set captures the spirit of a time when
aviation was advancing and capturing the public's imagination.

1984 Topps Baseball Cards Checklist & Values
The (2) top rookie cards that year were of players who never made
the Hall-of-Fame but they sure had impact. Both played in the
'Big Apple'. Darryl Strawberry with the Mets and Don Mattingly
across town with the Yankees.
Mattingly was the top firstbaseman nearly every year he played but
his career was cut short by injury.
Strawberry's played 17 years in which many he was a top star.
It's likely that other factors kept him out of the Hall.

Are sports cards valuable ?
Like all collectibles, over time some sports cards go down in value,
others go up and some can even become very valuable.
Card values are based on many factors:
player popularity, scarcity, condition & collector interest.
A card can be scarce but without demand value may not be great.
Q: What are some ways to collect cards ?
* Complete sets by year & issue
* Cards of your favorite player
* Cards of your favorite team "TEAM SETS"
* Rookie cards
* Hall-of-Famer cards
* I even had a girlfriend that collected Don Mossi (checkout his ears),
players whose last name start with "Z", and the Brett brothers George &
Ken (she had a crush on George).
* "TYPE COLLECTING" (everyone should at least do a little of this !)
"Type Collecting"
is collecting at least one of each different "type" of issue.
On scarcer issues you can add a less expensive common
while on others you can select your favorite player or team.
