A decade of excellence - Topps in the 1960s…

1951WheatiesPremium

Topps had lots of great card designs, fun inserts and new products in the decade from 1960 to 1969. I’m partial to baseball but they were all over the place in pop culture and I thought it might be fun to highlight some of these items that got a generation hooked on collecting. I’ll kick it off with a smattering of baseball items and I think this could be a fun thread. Anything goes!

Let’s see some groovy stuff from the 60’s, man!

What year are the team posters? Guessing ‘69 from the look of them. Not familiar with those. Do not recall ever seeing them and think I would remember the Cubs poster if I had.

Thanks for sharing.

Yes 1969. Very colorful and neat design. Larger than 68s too.

Got around to snapping photos of a few more of my ‘60’s!

I still believe deep down inside that ultra scarce items always seem to be more "visually appealing", because they are seldom seen, not necessarily because they are the neatest looking items. However, I do believe the 1968 Topps 3D covers both sides of this argument. Scarce, yet very stunning.

The Dodgers Frito Lay Ticket folders aren't all that appealing looking in my opinion, but are scarce enough that most people have not seen them or own any.

Those are a great and very unique concept. I picked up a few a long time ago and wish I had gone after more.
