1975 Topps Baseball Cards
Checklist & Values

The first think you notice about Topps 1975 baseball cards is their very colorful and thinck borders, many say TOO colorful, TOO thick. Anyway, this set doesn't show up on too many best designed baseball card lists.
But what it lacked in design, it made up in other ways. First was the AWESOME ROOKIE cards for Hall-of-Famers George Brett, Robin Yount, Jim Rice, Fred Lynn and Gary Carter.
Then there was the SUPER POPULAR MVP subset. One of my favorite Topps subsets, there were now many great cards picturing players like Mickey Mantle & Willie Mays.
It didn't stop there. There were several Record Breaker cards featuring greats like Hank Aaron & Nolan Ryan. Plus the always loved League Leaders cards and even more .
AND THE BEST PART --- 1975 Topps Minis !!! Yes, a whole new set, exactly the same, but a slightly smaller size !!!

1993 Topps Inaugural
Colorado Rockies Set

In 1993 Topps produced a limited number of special factory sets to honor the Colorado Rockies first season. A special gold foil Rockies logo was added to each card.
The initial print run of 5,000 ran out quickly so the Rockies had 5,000 more sets made. Cards were only available as factory sets so singles and team sets are a bit tougher to find.

Topps created these in their 1958 High Number issue and has continued the practice fairly regularly to date. Such cards are usually designated in price guides with the abbreviation of AS.

Assorted A general mix of cards often containing many duplicates.

Auction items are sold to the highest bidder. Auctions used to be live or thru the mail/phone but today most auctions are online.
