2004 Topps Presidential Set

megatron

Had a question about this 42 card set. Topps supposedly references in each card how each President was involved/was influenced/influenced the game of baseball. For those early Presidents such as Washington, Adams, etc., what does Topps have to say? I imagine that baseball did not pick up a lot of steam until the mid 1800's.

Just wondering if it is worth it to make an investment in this moderately priced set.

Thanks

i like the set! i have a few singles, and the "oldest" president i have is John Tyler(president from 1841-1845).. the back of his card says:

"John Tyler was the first vice president to be promoted due to the death of the president. He took office in 1841 after President William H. Harrison died. Tyler was a man of conviction (he firmly believed in states' rights), but was not popular among politicians. During his presidency, the game of town ball ruled in northeastern cities, but it was about to give way to a new game called base ball."

Have you a scan of the card? What does the set cost?

As it goes for investment? Only if a person is willing to take the loss. What is the production run? If Topps doesn't state it, figure it to be somewhere in the scabillion?

here ya go Mike, i'm not sure about production runs, of course being Topps, they also made Topps Chrome, Chrome refractors, and X-fractors #'d to the Presidents # (ie: George Washington 1/1, Bill Clinton 42/42, etc.. ) The X-Fractors sell for pretty good money on eBay..

here is a scan of my regular ole' John Tyler..
