Hockey index+0.36% this week

Topps has been the flagship name in baseball cards since 1952, when Sy Berger's design established the modern card. Its annual base set has run uninterrupted ever since — the longest continuous run in the hobby.

1954 Topps5 cards

A 250-card set with dual images — color portrait plus black-and-white action shot — and the rookie cards of Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks, and Al Kaline. Ted Williams bookends the set at #1 and #250.

1957 Topps9 cards

The set that standardized the modern card: the 2½ × 3½ inch size still used today, real color photography instead of paintings, and full career statistics on the back. Rookies include Frank Robinson, Brooks Robinson, and Don Drysdale across its 407 cards.

1958 Topps2 cards

A 494-card set of solid-color backgrounds behind cut-out player photos, including the first Topps cards printed with player-name variations in yellow and white lettering. Its #1 card, Ted Williams, leads a set filled with All-Star subset debuts.

1959 Topps2 cards

Topps' 572-card set framed players inside a circle on bold single-color backgrounds. The Bob Gibson rookie and the high-number Mantle All-Star are keys, and at the time it was the largest set ever issued.

1961 Topps2 cards

A clean, portrait-forward 587-card design remembered for its Roger Maris cards issued during his 61-home-run chase, and for high-number scarcity that makes complete sets a genuine challenge.

1964 Topps2 cards

A bright, simple 587-card design with large team lettering. The Pete Rose second-year card and rookie cards of Phil Niekro and Tony Conigliaro lead it, and its "Giant" oversized parallel issue remains popular.

1965 Topps4 cards

The pennant-flag design — 598 cards considered among Topps' best-looking of the decade. Joe Morgan and Steve Carlton rookies anchor it, alongside Mantle's iconic card from his final MVP-caliber season.

1966 Topps6 cards

A straightforward 598-card design whose difficulty lies almost entirely in its brutally short-printed high-number series, including the Gaylord Perry and Willie McCovey cards collectors hunt for decades.

1967 Topps8 cards

A clean, borderless-photo design across 609 cards — the largest set Topps had made — with the Rod Carew and Tom Seaver rookies as its pillars. Its high numbers are among the toughest of the sixties.

1968 Topps3 cards

The burlap-texture border set, 598 cards including the Nolan Ryan/Jerry Koosman rookie (#177) and Johnny Bench's rookie card — two of the most significant cards of the entire decade in one checklist.

1969 Topps4 cards

A 664-card set produced during a photo-shortage year that forced Topps to reuse old and hatless portraits — creating famous variations like the white-letter names. Reggie Jackson's rookie (#260) and Mantle's final card (#500) make it a landmark.

1970 Topps6 cards

The gray-border set that closed the sixties era: 720 cards, then the largest issue ever. Thurman Munson's rookie and a strong Ryan/Bench/Clemente core carry it, with condition-sensitive gray borders punishing careless handling.
