Q8: What are some additional useful to know baseball card collecting terms ?

(part 4)
Team Set - a group of cards featuring all the issues of the players of a particular team from the same release.

Test Issue - a preliminary offering issued as a test to see if a product would be accepted by collectors.

Tobacco Card - typically from the early 1900s, these were cards issued with tobacco products. The most famous of which is the "T-206" Honus Wagner card.

Traded/Update Set - a set issued after the original issue primarily featuring rookies or players who were traded since the original issue came out.

Trimmed Card - a card reduced in size from when it was issued, usually to hide an imperfection such as damaged edges or corners. Trimmed cards usually have very little value but in some cases such as the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, even trimmed cards can go for thousands of dollars. The most famous 'trimmed' card to date is the T206 Honus Wagner purchased by Wayne Gretzky. The card was actually too large and was trimmed down to it's proper size.

Unauthorized Issue - a card release which is not licensed by a league, a player’s association, or by a player.

Variation - a card that was printed by the manufacturer in two or more different ways.

Wax - a universal collecting term for factory-sealed packs or boxes. The term "wax" most often refers to sealed material that was originally released in the early 1990’s or back -- a time when packs were wrapped and sealed in wax paper wrappers. It can casually reference modern era packs or boxes that no longer use actual wax paper.

1932,1933,1936 Chicago Cubs
Picture Pack Team Issue

Oversized, approx 6x9 inch black/white on a construction paper like card stock, each with a facsimile autograph.

The set does not just contain Cubs players but also some of the top executives like William Wrigley and Bill Veeck. The various years are very, very tough to tell from each other and often require an expert.

1956 Topps Pins

In addition to their regular issue 1956 Topps baseball card set, which in my opinion, was Topps' nicest regular issue set, Topps released a special pin set. This was the first pins ever issued by Topps.

Few issues can compare to the 1956 Topps Pins set. The colorful and attractive 1-1/8" diameter pins, just like baseball cards from the era, were packaged with bubble gum. The pins featured a full color photo of the player with a pin clasp on the reverse. Interestingly, some images for the pin set are the same as those on the regular 1956 Topps cards. Even if you don't want to collect the set, if you collect 1956 Topps cards than YOU MUST add at least one 1956 Topps Pin to your collection.

The 1956 Topps Pins set features most of the eras Hall-of-Famers including Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Jackie Robinson, Ted Williams, Ernie Banks, Duke Snider, Al Kaline, Yogi Berra, Eddie Mathews and also includes some super tough scarcities such as Chuck Stobbs, Hector Lopez and Chuck Diering. There is not firm opinion as to which of the 3 scarce short prints are the toughest to find.

In the end, collectors in the day preferred their cards to pins and Topps cut back the 1956 Topps Pin set issue from a planned 90 pins to just 60.

Vintage Baseball Card Auction terminology

Register: You give us your name, address and email so we can contact you after the auction with your winning bids.
2 Types of Bidding: There are 2 ways to bid in the auction.
/ auction bids - you simply click on YES button to make the next bid.
auction bids - you enter the MAXIMUM you would bid on this item. If you are outbid in the auction, the auction software will make the next bid as long as it is less than or equal to the auction MAXBID you enter.
Minimum or Starting bid: On expensive auction items, there is no point in auction bids starting at .25 and going up by .25 taking perhaps 100 such bids to reach even 10% of value. Thus some items in auctions have a "Minimum" or "Starting Bid".
Reserve bid: "Reserve" auction bids come into play once an auction is over. If the final "Hammer" price is less than the "Reserve" bid then there is no sale. I do not find this type of auction bidding very bidder friendly.

1969-1970 Topps Basketball Cards
Checklist & Values


The 1969-1970 Topps Basketball set was history making in both card size and player selection. What a line-up of stars starting with Rookie Cards of Lew Alcindor (later known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) & John Havlicek. Followed by star after star: Dave Bing, Earl Monroe, Don Nelson, Nate Thurmond, Bill Bradley, John Havlicek, Willis Reed, Wes Unseld, Walt Frazier, Dave DeBusschere, Connie Hawkins, Elvin Hayes, Billy Cunningham, Jerry Lucas ...

Affectionately called "Tall Boys", the 99-card set measured a huge 2-1/2 x 4-11/16 inches and were sold in 10-card packs at 10 cents/pack.

The cards came along with a brightly-colored "Ruler" insert. These delicate 2-1/2 x 9-7/8 collectibles were printed on very thin paper stock featuring a cartoon drawing alongside a ruler measuring his height. Originally intended for 24 inserts, #5 Bill Russell was never issued. There were "Rulers" for stars like John Havlicek, Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West & Walt Frazier.
