1971 Topps Super Baseball Set Ended Brief Era

April 11, 2019 By Rich Mueller

It was one of many ideas drummed up by Topps decades ago to create more sales.  There had been pins, stand-ups, posters, stamps and glossies.  For two years, the company gave its standard cards the super size treatment, creating sets that filled up a good chunk of the shoebox.  The 1971 Topps Super baseball set would be the end of the brief experiment.  … [Read more...] about 1971 Topps Super Baseball Set Ended Brief Era

February 14, 2017 By Rich Mueller

Looking to lick a vintage set that includes a roster full of Hall of Famers but doesn't stick you with a hefty bill?  You might consider the 1974 Topps Stamps issue.

Vintage Fleer Issues Focused On Former Stars, Teams

February 7, 2017 By Anson Whaley

In 1963, Fleer produced a set of cards hoping to challenge Topps, which was the only mainstream producer of baseball issues. However, a lawsuit by Topps ended Fleer's hopes of creating sets featuring current players. Finally by the early 1980s, Fleer won the court fight to be allowed in the baseball card game with current players.  However, the company didn't keep … [Read more...] about Vintage Fleer Issues Focused On Former Stars, Teams

Dimes for Decor: 1972 Topps Posters

Topps 1972 baseball psoters

Searching for baseball card-related products beyond the annual Topps set was often a tough task prior to the mid-1970s.  The 1972 Topps Posters set wasn’t traditional but it did serve the purpose of getting youngsters to fork over more dimes and quenched what seemed to be a never-ending desire of American youth to put posters in their room. Topps was all about the … [Read more...] about Dimes for Decor: 1972 Topps Posters

October 18, 2016 By Anson Whaley

For the eighth consecutive year, Kellogg's produced a baseball card set for collectors with cards being included in its popular boxes of cereal.

Editor’s Blog: Recalling the Frenzy of 1979 Topps Test Comics

August 30, 2016 By Rich Mueller

The card companies issue multiple sets per month these days. The sport doesn't even have to be in season for some new product to hit the market.  That's not exactly a revelation.  The flood of products really began in the 1990s. The contrast between modern era and the world of collectors of current releases back in the late 1970s is mind-boggling and one unique, one-and-done … [Read more...] about Editor’s Blog: Recalling the Frenzy of 1979 Topps Test Comics

Rod Carew 1974 Kelloggs

In 1973, Kellogg's abandoned its traditional three-dimensional look on its baseball card sets, which initially spanned from 1970 to 1983.

The two-dimensional cards distributed by Kellogg's in … [Read more...] about 1974 Kellogg’s Baseball Set Brought 3D Back

1973 Kellogg’s Set Broke With Tradition

These cards were available to collectors via a mail-in offer. 1973 Kellogg's Basics Kellogg's switched things up in 1973 with the primary change being the … [Read more...] about 1973 Kellogg’s Set Broke With Tradition

1972 Kelloggs cereal box back

In 1972, Kellogg's produced its third consecutive set of 3D baseball cards. But unlike past years, the manufacturer pleased both young and old fans with the creation of two sets.
