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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This unnumbered card was issued in the rare 47-card set, circa 1911, which were printed on the back of "Baseball Bats" penny candy.  The cards themselves measure approximately 1-3/8" by 2-3/8" and feature a black and white player photo surrounded by an orange or white border.  The players name and team are printed in small, black capital letters near the bottom of the photo.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This card is one of 572 cards issued in the 1959 Topps card set--a set marking the largest set 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The second series of Zeenut cards measure 2 1/8" x 4 1/8" high and featured sepia-toned photographs on a brown background with no border. Most cards have blank backs, but some have been found with printing advising collectors to "save Zeenut pictures for valuable premiums." The checklist consits of 158 subjects, but more cards are still being discovered.

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.

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.

This card is one of 572 cards issued in the 1959 Topps card set--a set marking the largest set 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. The cards measure 2-1/2"by 3-1/2" in size. The second series cards (#'s 89-154) were issued in 1962.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This card is one of 572 cards issued in the 1959 Topps card set--a set marking the largest set 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
