It's now technically Monday morning and I greatly apologize for the late post. Truth is things are busy, and I just haven't had time until now.
Alright now time for a little history on the 1960 topps set as promised. There are 572 cards in this set. It was divided into 7 series when it originally came out. It is very difficult to get your hands on the higher numbered cards. They just weren't mass produced as the other cards. The 1960 Topps baseball card set is one of the more colorful sets ever produced by Topps, and the only time a 2 ½ by 3 ½ horizontal card format was used. After only one year of this format, Topps' management decided it would revert back to its 2 ½ by 3 ½ vertical card size used for the 1959 set. With the exception of a few select sets, the 2 ½ by 3 ½ vertical measurements would be used for all cards from 1961 to the present.This is one reason I really like this set. Its very unique in the the size dimensions that it was made. The amount of colors is also very cool in this set. The colorful fronts of the 1960 cards definitely make this an eye appealing set. There were a total of eight different colors used for the card fronts, blue, red, yellow, orange, light green, light blue, pink, and dark green.
There is some basic information from the 1960's set. That information comes from Jim Churilla who writes for PSA sports.
That;s going to be it for tonight's post.
Keep collecting
