1954 Bowman Baseball Card #207 Stan Lopata

The 1954 Bowman set consists of 224 full color cards that measure 2-1/2" by 3-3/4". It is believed that contractual problems caused the pulling of card #66 (Ted Williams) from the set, creating one of the most sought-after scarcities of the postwar era. The Williams card was replaced by Jim Piersall (who is also #210) in subsequent print runs. The set contains over 40 variations, most involving statistical errors on the card backs that were corrected. On most cards neither variation carries a premium value as both varieties appear to have been printed in equal amounts. The complete set price does not include all of the variations of #66 Williams.

2 1/2" by 3". Front: Black and white player photo with a red and white border, player name in white above the photo. Back: Player's name, position, team and league as well as a redemption ad and card number.

1951 Bowman Baseball Card #305 Willie Mays (Rookie)

In 1951, Bowman increased the number of cards in its set for the 3rd consecutive year when it issued 324 cards. The cards are, like 1950, color art reproductions of actual photographs but now measure 2-1/16" by 3-1/8" in size. The player's name is situated in a small, black box on the card front.

1951 Bowman Baseball Card #32 Duke Snider

In 1951, Bowman increased the number of cards in its set for the 3rd consecutive year when it issued 324 cards. The cards are, like 1950, color art reproductions of actual photographs but now measure 2-1/16" by 3-1/8" in size. The player's name is situated in a small, black box on the card front. Several of the card fronts are enlargements of the 1950 version. The high-numbered series of the set (#'s 253-324), which includes the rookie cards of Mantle and Mays, are the scarcest of the issue.

1914 Zeenut Pacific Coast League Baseball Card (E137) #114 Powell

The set consists of 320 cards that measure 2-1/2" by 3-3/3" in size. High-numbered cards (#'s 225-320) appear to have replaced certain low-numbered cards on the press sheets and are somewhat scarcer.

In 1949, Bowman increased the size of its issue to 240 numbered cards. The cards, which measure 2-1/16" by 2-1/2 inch are black and white photos over-printed with various pastel colors. Beginning with card #109 in the set, Bowman inserted the players' names on the card fronts. Twelve cards (#'s 4, 78, 83. 84, 88, 98, 109, 124, 127, 132 and 143), which were produced in the first four series of printings, were reprinted in the seventh series with either a card front or a back modification.

The complete set of value in the following checklist does not include the higher priced variation cards.

The 1954 Bowman set consists of 224 full color cards that measure 2-1/2" by 3-3/4".

1957 Topps Baseball #228 Smoky Burgess

For 1957, Topps reduced the size of its cards to the now-standard 2-1/2" by 3-1/2."  Set size was increased to 407 cards.  Another change came in the form of the use of real color photographs as opposed to the hand-colored black and whites of previous years.  For the first time since 1954, there are also cards with more than one player.  The two, "Dodger Sluggers" and "Yankees Power Hitters" began a trend toward the increased use of multiple-player cards.  Another first-time innovation, found on the backs, is complete player statistics.  The scarce cards in the set are not the highest numbers, but rather numbers 265-352.  Four unnumbered checklist cards were issued along with the set.  They are quite expensive and are not included in the complete set prices quoted below.

1950 Bowman Baseball Card #115 Roy Smalley

The quality of the 1950 Bowman issue showed a marked improvement over the company's previous efforts. The cards are beautiful color art reproductions of actual photographs and measure 2-1/16" by 2-1/2" in size. The card backs include the same type of information as found in the previous year's issue but are designed in a horizontal format. Cards found in the first two series of the set (#'s 1-72) are the scarcest in the issue. The backs of the final 72 cards in the set (#'s 181-252) can be found with or without the copyright line at the bottom of the card, the "without" version being the less common.

1953 Bowman Baseball Card Black and White #14 Bill Nicholson

The 1953 Bowman Black and White set is similar in all respects to the 1953 Color set except that it lacks color. Purportedly, high costs in producing the color series forced Bowman to issue the set in black and white. Sixty-four cards, which measure 2-1/2" by 3-3/4", comprise the set.

1953 Bowman Baseball Card #69 Charlie Grimm

The first set of current major league players featuring actual color photographs, the 160 card 1953 Bowman Color set remains one of the most popular issues of the postwar era. The set is greatly appreciated for its uncluttered look; card fronts that contain no names, teams or facsimile autographs.

For 1957, Topps reduced the size of its cards to the now-standard 2-1/2" by 3-1/2."  Set size was increased to 407 cards.  Another change came in the form of the use of real color photographs as opposed to the hand-colored black and whites of previous years.  For the first time since 1954, there are also cards with more than one player.  The two, "Dodger Sluggers" and "Yankees Power Hitters" began a trend toward the increased use of multiple-player cards.  Another first-time innovation, found on the backs, is complete player statistics.  The scarce cards in the set are not the highest numbers, but rather numbers 265-352.  Four unnumbered checklist cards were issued along with the set.  They are quite expensive and are not included in the complete set prices quoted below.

1950 Bowman Baseball Card #220 Leo Durocher

The quality of the 1950 Bowman issue showed a marked improvement over the company's previous efforts.

Twelve cards (#'s 7, 8, 13, 16, 20, 22, 24, 26, 29, 30 and 34) were printed in short supply when they were removed from the 36-card printing sheet to make room for the set's high numbers (#'s 37-48).

1953 Topps Baseball Card # 158 John Logan

Issued as part of the 1953 Topps set of baseball cards, which reflects the company's continuing legal battles with Bowman.  The set, originally intended to consist of 280 cards, is lacking six numbers (numbers 253, 261, 267, 268, 271, and 275) which probably represent players whose contracts were lost to the competition.  The 2-5/8" by 3-3/4" cards feature painted player pictures.  A color team logo appears at the bottom panel (red for American League and black for National).  Card backs contain the first baseball trivia questions along with brief statistics and player biographies.  In the red panel at the top which lists the player's personal data, cards from the 2nd Series (numbers 86-165 plus 10, 44, 61, 72, and 81) can be found with that data printed in either black or white, black being the scarcer variety.  Card numbers 221-280 are the scarce high numbers.

Cards retained the 2-1/2" by 3-1/2" size. There are a number of variations, including yellow or white lettering on 33 cards between numbers 2-108 (higher priced yellow letter variations that are checklisted, are not part of the complete set prices). The number of multiple-player cards was increased. A major innovation is the addition of 20 "All-Star" cards. For the first time, checklists were incorporated into the numbered series, as the backs of team cards.

1914 Texas Tommy Type I (E244) #38

Little is known about the origin of this 50-card set issued in 1914 and designated as E224 in the American Card Catalog. Measuring 2 3/8" by 3 1/2", the front of the cards feature sepia-toned photos with the player's name in capital letters and his team below in parentheses. The back carries a biography and nmost cards, though not all, include year-by-year statistics at the bottom. The words "Texas Tommy" appear at the top, apparently referring to the sponsor of the set, although it is still unclear who or what "Texas Tommy" was, and despite its name, most examples of this set have been found in northern California. There is also a second variety of the set, smaller in size (1 7/8" by 3") which are borderless pictures with a glossy finish.

1954 Bowman Baseball Card #111 Murry Dickson

The 1954 Bowman set consists of 224 full color cards that measure 2-1/2" by 3-3/4". It is believed that contractual problems caused the pulling of card #66 (Ted Williams) from the set, creating one of the most sought-after scarcities of the postwar era. The Williams card was replaced by Jim Piersall (who is also #210) in subsequent print runs. The set contains over 40 variations, most involving statistical errors on the card backs that were corrected. On most cards neither variation carries a premium value as both varieties appear to have been printed in equal amounts. The complete set price does not include all of the variations of #66 Williams.

1953 Topps Baseball Card # 202 Carl Sawatski

Issued as part of the 1953 Topps set of baseball cards, which reflects the company's continuing legal battles with Bowman.  The set, originally intended to consist of 280 cards, is lacking six numbers (numbers 253, 261, 267, 268, 271, and 275) which probably represent players whose contracts were lost to the competition.  The 2-5/8" by 3-3/4" cards feature painted player pictures.  A color team logo appears at the bottom panel (red for American League and black for National).  Card backs contain the first baseball trivia questions along with brief statistics and player biographies.  In the red panel at the top which lists the player's personal data, cards from the 2nd Series (numbers 86-165 plus 10, 44, 61, 72, and 81) can be found with that data printed in either black or white, black being the scarcer variety.  Card numbers 221-280 are the scarce high numbers.

1953 Bowman Baseball Card Black and White #55 Don Johnson

The 1953 Bowman Black and White set is similar in all respects to the 1953 Color set except that it lacks color. Purportedly, high costs in producing the color series forced Bowman to issue the set in black and white. Sixty-four cards, which measure 2-1/2" by 3-3/4", comprise the set.

1961-62 Fleer Baseball Card #79 Tris Speaker

Over a two year period, Fleer issued another set utilizing the Baseball Greats theme. The 154-card set was issued in two series and features a color player portrait against a color background. The player's name is located in a pennant set at the bottom of the card. The card backs feature orange and black on white stock and contain player biographical and statistical information.

1950 Bowman Baseball Card #162 Eddie Yost

The quality of the 1950 Bowman issue showed a marked improvement over the company's previous efforts. The cards are beautiful color art reproductions of actual photographs and measure 2-1/16" by 2-1/2" in size. The card backs include the same type of information as found in the previous year's issue but are designed in a horizontal format. Cards found in the first two series of the set (#'s 1-72) are the scarcest in the issue. The backs of the final 72 cards in the set (#'s 181-252) can be found with or without the copyright line at the bottom of the card, the "without" version being the less common.

1951 Bowman Baseball Card #4 Del Ennis

Several of the card fronts are enlargements of the 1950 version. The high-numbered series of the set (#'s 253-324), which includes the rookie cards of Mantle and Mays, are the scarcest of the issue.

1959 Topps Baseball Card # 111 Redlegs Team/Checklist 89-176

1954 Topps Baseball Card # 212 Mickey Micelotta

This card is one of 250 cards issued in the 1954 Topps set.  This set was the first issue to use two player pictures on the front and is very popular today.  Solid color backgrounds frame both color head-and-shoulders and black and white action pictures of the player.  The player's name, position, team and team logo appear at the top.  Backs include an "Inside Baseball" cartoon regarding the player as well as statistics and biography.  The cards measure 2-5/8" by 3-3/4" and include manager and coaches cards.  This was the first set to use two players together on a modern card; the players were, appropriately, the O'Brien twins. 

1954 Bowman Baseball Card #103a Stephen Souchock (144/1192 putouts)

The 1954 Bowman set consists of 224 full color cards that measure 2-1/2" by 3-3/4". It is believed that contractual problems caused the pulling of card #66 (Ted Williams) from the set, creating one of the most sought-after scarcities of the postwar era. The Williams card was replaced by Jim Piersall (who is also #210) in subsequent print runs. The set contains over 40 variations, most involving statistical errors on the card backs that were corrected. On most cards neither variation carries a premium value as both varieties appear to have been printed in equal amounts. The complete set price does not include all of the variations of #66 Williams.

Cards in this set are 2-5/8” by 3-3/4” with a hand-colored black and white photo on front. Major baseball card innovations presented in the set include the first-ever use of color team logos as part of the design, and the inclusion of stats for the previous season and overall career on the backs. A major variety in the set is that the first 80 cards can be found with backs printed entirely in black or black and red. Backs entirely in black command a $10-15 premium. Card numbers 311-407 were printed in limited supplies and are extremely rare.

1953 Bowman Baseball Card #114 Bob Feller

The first set of current major league players featuring actual color photographs, the 160 card 1953 Bowman Color set remains one of the most popular issues of the postwar era. The set is greatly appreciated for its uncluttered look; card fronts that contain no names, teams or facsimile autographs.

In 1951, Bowman increased the number of cards in its set for the 3rd consecutive year when it issued 324 cards.

1957 Topps Baseball #307 Jack Phillips (DOUBLE-PRINT) PSA NM-MT 8

For 1957, Topps reduced the size of its cards to the now-standard 2-1/2" by 3-1/2."  Set size was increased to 407 cards.  Another change came in the form of the use of real color photographs as opposed to the hand-colored black and whites of previous years.  For the first time since 1954, there are also cards with more than one player.  The two, "Dodger Sluggers" and "Yankees Power Hitters" began a trend toward the increased use of multiple-player cards.  Another first-time innovation, found on the backs, is complete player statistics.  The scarce cards in the set are not the highest numbers, but rather numbers 265-352.  Four unnumbered checklist cards were issued along with the set.  They are quite expensive and are not included in the complete set prices quoted below.

1956 Topps Baseball Card # 142 Gene Baker

This card was one of 340 cards issued in the 1956 Topps Baseball Card set.  The card set is quite similar to the 1955 Topps set, again using both a portrait and an "action" picture.  Some portraits are the same as those used in 1955 (and even 1954).  Innovations found in the 1956 Topps set of 2-5/8" by 3-3/4" cards include team cards introduced as part of a regular set.  Additionally, there are two unnumbered checklist cards.  Finally, there are cards of the two league presidents.  William Harridge and Warren Giles.  On the backs, a three-panel cartoon depicts big moments from the player's career while biographical information appears above the cartoon and the statistics below.  Card backs for numbers 1-180 can be found with either white or grey cardboard.  Some dealers charge a premium for grey backs (numbers 1-100) and white backs (101-180).

The 1914 Zeenut cards measure 2" x 3" x 3 1/2" without the coupon and feature black and white photos on a gray, borderless background. 146 different poses have been found. The backs are blank.

1950 Bowman Baseball Card #235 Harold Gilbert

The quality of the 1950 Bowman issue showed a marked improvement over the company's previous efforts. The cards are beautiful color art reproductions of actual photographs and measure 2-1/16" by 2-1/2" in size. The card backs include the same type of information as found in the previous year's issue but are designed in a horizontal format. Cards found in the first two series of the set (#'s 1-72) are the scarcest in the issue. The backs of the final 72 cards in the set (#'s 181-252) can be found with or without the copyright line at the bottom of the card, the "without" version being the less common.

1922 W501 G-4-22 Baseball Card #76

2" by 3 1/2" Similar to American Caramel E121 cards. Numbered. Front: Black and white player portrait, name and position below. Back: Blank.

1960 Fleer Baseball Card #79 Ralph Kiner

The 1960 Fleer Baseball Greats set consists of 78 of the game's top players from the past, plus a card of Ted Williams, who was in his final major league season. The cards are standard size (2-1/2" by 3-1/2") and feature color photos inside blue, green, red or yellow borders. The card backs carry a short player biography plus career hitting or pitching statistics. Unissued cards with a Pepper Martin back (#80), but with another player pictured on the front are in existence.

1951 Bowman Baseball Card #179 Danny Litwhiler

In 1951, Bowman increased the number of cards in its set for the 3rd consecutive year when it issued 324 cards. The cards are, like 1950, color art reproductions of actual photographs but now measure 2-1/16" by 3-1/8" in size. The player's name is situated in a small, black box on the card front. Several of the card fronts are enlargements of the 1950 version. The high-numbered series of the set (#'s 253-324), which includes the rookie cards of Mantle and Mays, are the scarcest of the issue.

1954 Bowman Baseball Card #19 Bobby Shantz

The 1954 Bowman set consists of 224 full color cards that measure 2-1/2" by 3-3/4". It is believed that contractual problems caused the pulling of card #66 (Ted Williams) from the set, creating one of the most sought-after scarcities of the postwar era. The Williams card was replaced by Jim Piersall (who is also #210) in subsequent print runs. The set contains over 40 variations, most involving statistical errors on the card backs that were corrected. On most cards neither variation carries a premium value as both varieties appear to have been printed in equal amounts. The complete set price does not include all of the variations of #66 Williams.

1928 Tharp's Ice Cream #52

Sharing the same format and checklist with several other contemporary ice cream sets, this 60-card set includes all the top stars of the day. Cards are printed in black and white on a 1 3/8" by 2 1/2" format. The player's name and a card number appear either in a strip within the frame of the photo, or printed in the border beneath the card. Card backs have a redemption offer that includes an ice cream bar in exchange for a Babe Ruth card, or a gallon of ice cream for a complete set of 60.

1914 Texas Tommy Type I (E244) #28

Little is known about the origin of this 50-card set issued in 1914 and designated as E224 in the American Card Catalog. Measuring 2 3/8" by 3 1/2", the front of the cards feature sepia-toned photos with the player's name in capital letters and his team below in parentheses. The back carries a biography and nmost cards, though not all, include year-by-year statistics at the bottom. The words "Texas Tommy" appear at the top, apparently referring to the sponsor of the set, although it is still unclear who or what "Texas Tommy" was, and despite its name, most examples of this set have been found in northern California. There is also a second variety of the set, smaller in size (1 7/8" by 3") which are borderless pictures with a glossy finish.

1948 Bowman Baseball Card # 6 Yogi Berra

Bowman Gum Co.'s premiere set was produced in 1948, making it one of the first major issues of the post war period. Forty-eight black and white cards comprise the set, with each card measuring 2-1/6" by 2-1/2" in size. The card backs, printed in black ink on grey stock, include the card number and the player's name, team, position, and a short biography. Twelve cards (#'s 7, 8, 13, 16, 20, 22, 24, 26, 29, 30 and 34) were printed in short supply when they were removed from the 36-card printing sheet to make room for the set's high numbers (#'s 37-48). These 24 cards command a higher price than the remaining cards in the set.

1909-11 T206 White Border Baseball Card #151

1 7/16" by 2 5/8"

The nearly 525 cards comprising the T206 set are among the most popular of the early tobacco card issues.

Back: Ad for one of 16 brands of cigarettes.

1949 Bowman Baseball Card # 161 Jocko Thompson

In 1949, Bowman increased the size of its issue to 240 numbered cards. The cards, which measure 2-1/16" by 2-1/2 inch are black and white photos over-printed with various pastel colors. Beginning with card #109 in the set, Bowman inserted the players' names on the card fronts. Twelve cards (#'s 4, 78, 83. 84, 88, 98, 109, 124, 127, 132 and 143), which were produced in the first four series of printings, were reprinted in the seventh series with either a card front or a back modification. These variations are noted in the checklist that follows. Card #'s 1-3 and 5-73 can be found with either white or grey backs. The complete set of value in the following checklist does not include the higher priced variation cards.

1914 Zeenut Pacific Coast League Baseball Card (E137) #124 Ryan

1955 Bowman Baseball Card #307 Babe Pinelli (umpire)

Bowman produced its final baseball card set as an independent card maker in 1955, a popular issue which has color player photographs placed inside a television set design. The set consists of 320 cards that measure 2-1/2" by 3-3/3" in size. High-numbered cards (#'s 225-320) appear to have replaced certain low-numbered cards on the press sheets and are somewhat scarcer. The high series includes 31 umpire cards.

1949 Bowman Baseball Card # 132a Al Evans (script name on back)

In 1949, Bowman increased the size of its issue to 240 numbered cards. The cards, which measure 2-1/16" by 2-1/2 inch are black and white photos over-printed with various pastel colors. Beginning with card #109 in the set, Bowman inserted the players' names on the card fronts. Twelve cards (#'s 4, 78, 83. 84, 88, 98, 109, 124, 127, 132 and 143), which were produced in the first four series of printings, were reprinted in the seventh series with either a card front or a back modification. These variations are noted in the checklist that follows. Card #'s 1-3 and 5-73 can be found with either white or grey backs. The complete set of value in the following checklist does not include the higher priced variation cards.

1960 Topps Baseball Tattoos #45 Robin Roberts

Probably the least popular of all Topps products among parents and teachers, the Topps Tattoos were delightful little items on the reverse of the wrappers of "Topps Tattoo Bubble Gum." The entire wrapper was 1-9/16" by 3-1/2". The happy owner simply moistened his skin and applied the back of the wrapper to the wet spot. Presto—out came a "tattoo' in color (although often blurred by running colors). The set offered 96 tattoo possibilities of which 55 were players, 16 teams, 15 action shots, and 10 autographed balls. Surviving specimens are very rare today.

1955 Bowman Baseball Card #86 Ted Gray

Bowman produced its final baseball card set as an independent card maker in 1955, a popular issue which has color player photographs placed inside a television set design. The set consists of 320 cards that measure 2-1/2" by 3-3/3" in size. High-numbered cards (#'s 225-320) appear to have replaced certain low-numbered cards on the press sheets and are somewhat scarcer. The high series includes 31 umpire cards.

1952 Topps Baseball #128 Don Bollweg

This card is one of 407 cards in the 1952 Topps set, the largest set of its day- both in number of cards and physical dimensions of the cards. Cards in this set are 2-5/8” by 3-3/4” with a hand-colored black and white photo on front. Major baseball card innovations presented in the set include the first-ever use of color team logos as part of the design, and the inclusion of stats for the previous season and overall career on the backs. A major variety in the set is that the first 80 cards can be found with backs printed entirely in black or black and red. Backs entirely in black command a $10-15 premium. Card numbers 311-407 were printed in limited supplies and are extremely rare.

1954 Bowman Baseball Card #127 Del Ennis

The 1954 Bowman set consists of 224 full color cards that measure 2-1/2" by 3-3/4". It is believed that contractual problems caused the pulling of card #66 (Ted Williams) from the set, creating one of the most sought-after scarcities of the postwar era. The Williams card was replaced by Jim Piersall (who is also #210) in subsequent print runs. The set contains over 40 variations, most involving statistical errors on the card backs that were corrected. On most cards neither variation carries a premium value as both varieties appear to have been printed in equal amounts. The complete set price does not include all of the variations of #66 Williams.

1914 Zeenut Pacific Coast League Baseball Card (E137) #111 Perkins

The 1914 Zeenut cards measure 2" x 3" x 3 1/2" without the coupon and feature black and white photos on a gray, borderless background. 146 different poses have been found. The backs are blank.

1957 Topps Baseball #320 Neil Chrisley PSA EX-MT 6

For 1957, Topps reduced the size of its cards to the now-standard 2-1/2" by 3-1/2."  Set size was increased to 407 cards.  Another change came in the form of the use of real color photographs as opposed to the hand-colored black and whites of previous years.  For the first time since 1954, there are also cards with more than one player.  The two, "Dodger Sluggers" and "Yankees Power Hitters" began a trend toward the increased use of multiple-player cards.  Another first-time innovation, found on the backs, is complete player statistics.  The scarce cards in the set are not the highest numbers, but rather numbers 265-352.  Four unnumbered checklist cards were issued along with the set.  They are quite expensive and are not included in the complete set prices quoted below.

1960 Topps Baseball Tattoos #26 Harmon Killebrew

Probably the least popular of all Topps products among parents and teachers, the Topps Tattoos were delightful little items on the reverse of the wrappers of "Topps Tattoo Bubble Gum." The entire wrapper was 1-9/16" by 3-1/2". The happy owner simply moistened his skin and applied the back of the wrapper to the wet spot. Presto—out came a "tattoo' in color (although often blurred by running colors). The set offered 96 tattoo possibilities of which 55 were players, 16 teams, 15 action shots, and 10 autographed balls. Surviving specimens are very rare today.

1959 Topps Baseball Card # 312 Don Newcombe

This card is one of 572 cards issued in the 1959 Topps card set--a set marking the larges tset issued to that time.  The cards in this set measured 2-1/2" by 3-1/2" and they have a round photograph at the center of the front with a solid-color background and white border.  A facsimile autograph is found across the photo.  Card numbers below #507 have red and green printing with the card numbering white in a green box.  On card numbers 507 and higher, the printing is black and red and the card number is in a black box.  Specialty cards include multiple-player cards, team cards with checklists, "All-Star" cards, highlights from previous season, and 31 "Rookie Stars".  There is also a card of the commissioner, Ford Frick, and also one of Roy Campanella in a wheelchair.  A handful of cards can be found with and without lines added to the biographies on the back indicating trades or demotions; those without the added lines added to the rare and valuable and are not included in the complete set price.  Card numbers 199 through 286 can be found with either white or grey stock being the less common.

1963 Fleer Baseball Card Baseball Card #34 Vada Pinson

A lawsuit by Topps stopped Fleer's 1963 set at one series of 66 cards. Issued with a cookie rather than gum, the set features color photos of current players. The card backs include statistical information for 1962 and career plus a brief player biography. The cards, which measure 2-1/2" by 3-1/2", are numbered 1-66. Ab unnumbered checklist was issued with the set and is included in the complete set price in the checklist that follows. The checklist and #46 Adcock are scarce.

1959 Fleer Ted Williams #20 1942 On To Naval Training

The 80-card 1959 Fleer set tells of the life of baseball great Ted Williams, from his childhood years up to 1958. The full-color cards measure 2-1/2" by 3-1/2" in size and make use of both horizontal and vertical formats. The card backs, all designed horizontally, contain a continuing biography of Williams. Card #68 was withdrawn from the set early in production and is scarce. Counterfeit cards of #68 have been produced and can be distinguished by a cross-hatch pattern which appears over the photo on the card fronts

1953 Bowman Baseball Card Black and White #61 Tom Gorman

The 1953 Bowman Black and White set is similar in all respects to the 1953 Color set except that it lacks color. Purportedly, high costs in producing the color series forced Bowman to issue the set in black and white. Sixty-four cards, which measure 2-1/2" by 3-3/4", comprise the set.

1949 Bowman Baseball Card # 135 Stan Rojek

In 1949, Bowman increased the size of its issue to 240 numbered cards. The cards, which measure 2-1/16" by 2-1/2 inch are black and white photos over-printed with various pastel colors. Beginning with card #109 in the set, Bowman inserted the players' names on the card fronts. Twelve cards (#'s 4, 78, 83. 84, 88, 98, 109, 124, 127, 132 and 143), which were produced in the first four series of printings, were reprinted in the seventh series with either a card front or a back modification.

The complete set of value in the following checklist does not include the higher priced variation cards.

1912 T202 Hassan Triple Folder Baseball Card #80

5 1/2" by 2 1/4" Front: Player photos on either end, with action scene in the middle. Back: Player biographies and action description.

1953 Topps Baseball Card # 162 Ted Kluszewski

Issued as part of the 1953 Topps set of baseball cards, which reflects the company's continuing legal battles with Bowman.  The set, originally intended to consist of 280 cards, is lacking six numbers (numbers 253, 261, 267, 268, 271, and 275) which probably represent players whose contracts were lost to the competition.  The 2-5/8" by 3-3/4" cards feature painted player pictures.  A color team logo appears at the bottom panel (red for American League and black for National).  Card backs contain the first baseball trivia questions along with brief statistics and player biographies.  In the red panel at the top which lists the player's personal data, cards from the 2nd Series (numbers 86-165 plus 10, 44, 61, 72, and 81) can be found with that data printed in either black or white, black being the scarcer variety.  Card numbers 221-280 are the scarce high numbers.

1909-11 T206 White Border Baseball Card #330

1954 Bowman Baseball Card #108 Bobby Adams

The 1954 Bowman set consists of 224 full color cards that measure 2-1/2" by 3-3/4". It is believed that contractual problems caused the pulling of card #66 (Ted Williams) from the set, creating one of the most sought-after scarcities of the postwar era. The Williams card was replaced by Jim Piersall (who is also #210) in subsequent print runs. The set contains over 40 variations, most involving statistical errors on the card backs that were corrected. On most cards neither variation carries a premium value as both varieties appear to have been printed in equal amounts. The complete set price does not include all of the variations of #66 Williams.

1909-11 T206 White Border Baseball Card #486 Honus Wagner

1 7/16" by 2 5/8"

The nearly 525 cards comprising the T206 set are among the most popular of the early tobacco card issues.

Front: Player depicted in color lithograph against a color background, name at lower border with city and league.

Back: Ad for one of 16 brands of cigarettes.

Despite universal high praise from friends and foes, and his membership in the 1936 inaugural class of the Baseball Hall of Fame, Honus Wagner is best remembered today as the face on the most valuable and coveted of all baseball cards.

While there is some truth to the argument that Wagner's greatness plays a role in the importance of this ultimate collecting rarity, one must acknowledge that it's a supporting role only. An equal print run to contemporaries like Cobb, Young and Mathewson would almost certainly have found Wagner's value equivalent to those legends' as well. But it was Wagner's refusal of the American Tobacco Company's request for permission to use his image that set him apart and above.

The most popular story to explain this refusal is that Wagner wished to play no role in the promotion of the use of tobacco, though it has been justly stated that he was himself a user, and had appeared in advertisements for many tobacco products previously. Another theory notes Wagner's reputation as a fierce negotiator, arguing that it was nothing more than a case of a failure to agree upon a dollar figure that led the ATC to end production of Wagner's card almost as soon as it started.

This unsolved mystery has only served to further enhance the mystique of the treasure presented here, one of just a few dozen examples of the famed Honus Wagner T206 known to exist. A colorized version of a studio portrait by celebrated early baseball photographer Carl Horn

1960 Fleer Baseball Card #58 Charlie Gehringer

The 1960 Fleer Baseball Greats set consists of 78 of the game's top players from the past, plus a card of Ted Williams, who was in his final major league season. The cards are standard size (2-1/2" by 3-1/2") and feature color photos inside blue, green, red or yellow borders. The card backs carry a short player biography plus career hitting or pitching statistics. Unissued cards with a Pepper Martin back (#80), but with another player pictured on the front are in existence.

1949 Bowman Baseball Card # 69 Tommy Henrich

In 1949, Bowman increased the size of its issue to 240 numbered cards. The cards, which measure 2-1/16" by 2-1/2 inch are black and white photos over-printed with various pastel colors. Beginning with card #109 in the set, Bowman inserted the players' names on the card fronts. Twelve cards (#'s 4, 78, 83. 84, 88, 98, 109, 124, 127, 132 and 143), which were produced in the first four series of printings, were reprinted in the seventh series with either a card front or a back modification. These variations are noted in the checklist that follows. Card #'s 1-3 and 5-73 can be found with either white or grey backs. The complete set of value in the following checklist does not include the higher priced variation cards.

1950 Bowman Baseball Card #80 Howard Fox

The quality of the 1950 Bowman issue showed a marked improvement over the company's previous efforts. The cards are beautiful color art reproductions of actual photographs and measure 2-1/16" by 2-1/2" in size. The card backs include the same type of information as found in the previous year's issue but are designed in a horizontal format. Cards found in the first two series of the set (#'s 1-72) are the scarcest in the issue. The backs of the final 72 cards in the set (#'s 181-252) can be found with or without the copyright line at the bottom of the card, the "without" version being the less common.

1958 Topps Baseball #162 Gil Hodges (HALL-OF-FAME)

This card is one of the 494-card set released in 1958--as Topps continued to expand its set in size.  One card (# 145) was not issued after Ed Bouchee Was suspended from baseball.  Cards retained the 2-1/2" by 3-1/2" size.  There are a number of variations, including yellow or white lettering on 33 cards between numbers 2-108 (higher priced yellow letter variations that are checklisted, are not part of the complete set prices).  The number of multiple-player cards was increased.  A major innovation is the addition of 20 "All-Star" cards.  For the first time, checklists were incorporated into the numbered series, as the backs of team cards.

1950 Bowman Baseball Card #156 Fred Sanford

The quality of the 1950 Bowman issue showed a marked improvement over the company's previous efforts. The cards are beautiful color art reproductions of actual photographs and measure 2-1/16" by 2-1/2" in size. The card backs include the same type of information as found in the previous year's issue but are designed in a horizontal format. Cards found in the first two series of the set (#'s 1-72) are the scarcest in the issue. The backs of the final 72 cards in the set (#'s 181-252) can be found with or without the copyright line at the bottom of the card, the "without" version being the less common.

1951 Bowman Baseball Card #15 Johnny Pesky

In 1951, Bowman increased the number of cards in its set for the 3rd consecutive year when it issued 324 cards. The cards are, like 1950, color art reproductions of actual photographs but now measure 2-1/16" by 3-1/8" in size. The player's name is situated in a small, black box on the card front. Several of the card fronts are enlargements of the 1950 version. The high-numbered series of the set (#'s 253-324), which includes the rookie cards of Mantle and Mays, are the scarcest of the issue.

1951 Bowman Baseball Card #95 Sherry Robertson

In 1951, Bowman increased the number of cards in its set for the 3rd consecutive year when it issued 324 cards. The cards are, like 1950, color art reproductions of actual photographs but now measure 2-1/16" by 3-1/8" in size. The player's name is situated in a small, black box on the card front. Several of the card fronts are enlargements of the 1950 version. The high-numbered series of the set (#'s 253-324), which includes the rookie cards of Mantle and Mays, are the scarcest of the issue.

1952 Bowman Baseball Card #213 Monte Kennedy

Bowman reverted back to a 252-card set in 1952, but retained the card size (2-1/16" by 3-1/8") employed the preceding year. The cards, which are color art reproductions of actual photographs, feature a facsimile autograph on the fronts.

1953 Bowman Baseball Card #67 Mel Clark

The first set of current major league players featuring actual color photographs, the 160 card 1953 Bowman Color set remains one of the most popular issues of the postwar era. The set is greatly appreciated for its uncluttered look; card fronts that contain no names, teams or facsimile autographs.

1954 Bowman Baseball Card #51 Alex Kellner

The 1954 Bowman set consists of 224 full color cards that measure 2-1/2" by 3-3/4". It is believed that contractual problems caused the pulling of card #66 (Ted Williams) from the set, creating one of the most sought-after scarcities of the postwar era. The Williams card was replaced by Jim Piersall (who is also #210) in subsequent print runs. The set contains over 40 variations, most involving statistical errors on the card backs that were corrected. On most cards neither variation carries a premium value as both varieties appear to have been printed in equal amounts. The complete set price does not include all of the variations of #66 Williams.

1948 Topps Magic Photo Baseball Card #16 Cy Young

The first ever set of Topps Baseball Cards appeared as a subset of 19 cards from an issue of 252 "Magic Photo" cards. The set takes its name from the self-developing nature of the cards. The cards were blank on the front when first taken out from the wrapper. By spitting on the wrapper and holding it to the card while exposing it to light, the black and white photo would appear. Measuring 7/8" by 1 1/2", the cards are very similar to Topps 1956 "Hocus Focus" cards.

1948 Bowman Baseball Card # 1 Bob Elliott

Bowman Gum Co.'s premiere set was produced in 1948, making it one of the first major issues of the post war period. Forty-eight black and white cards comprise the set, with each card measuring 2-1/6" by 2-1/2" in size. The card backs, printed in black ink on grey stock, include the card number and the player's name, team, position, and a short biography. Twelve cards (#'s 7, 8, 13, 16, 20, 22, 24, 26, 29, 30 and 34) were printed in short supply when they were removed from the 36-card printing sheet to make room for the set's high numbers (#'s 37-48). These 24 cards command a higher price than the remaining cards in the set.

1957 Topps Baseball #135 Bill Skowron

For 1957, Topps reduced the size of its cards to the now-standard 2-1/2" by 3-1/2."  Set size was increased to 407 cards.  Another change came in the form of the use of real color photographs as opposed to the hand-colored black and whites of previous years.  For the first time since 1954, there are also cards with more than one player.  The two, "Dodger Sluggers" and "Yankees Power Hitters" began a trend toward the increased use of multiple-player cards.  Another first-time innovation, found on the backs, is complete player statistics.  The scarce cards in the set are not the highest numbers, but rather numbers 265-352.  Four unnumbered checklist cards were issued along with the set.  They are quite expensive and are not included in the complete set prices quoted below.
