Back by Popular Demand: Volume Customer Discounts

By Dean Hanley
Founder and Owner, Deans Cards

Back By Popular Demand are our Volume Discounts for customer orders. You have spoken and we have listened. Stop on by our website to see how low our prices have gone. Here is a summary of how our discounts work.

The Primary Mission Statement of Dean’s Cards, or our purpose for being, is to “make vintage card collecting fast, easy and fun”. Two of the many things we do to enable this is to “offer conservatively graded vintage cards at competitive prices”. Another goal that we have is “to strive to stock at least one of every vintage card online, in each of the popular grades in stock”. 

The Dean’s Cards Surplus Inventory Discount, often referred to simply as “Inventory Discounts”, help us to achieve each of these objectives.

Inventory Discounts  

The idea of the Dean’s Cards Inventory Discounts is simple. Dean’s Cards has over a million cards online. We buy and sell thousands of vintage cards each week. The as the quantity of an “item” (a card, in a particular grade) in the Dean’s Cards Inventory increases, it triggers a higher Inventory Discount and lowers the net price of the item by 10%.


When Dean’s Cards decreases or sells out of a certain item, the Net Price of that item increases. The higher price is then reflected in our Dean’s Cards Bid Software, which allows us to bid more aggressively and replace the items with low quantities. We strive to be your “one stop shop” for vintage cards.

The Inventory Discount applies only to the cards from before 1981. It also applies to all magazines.

  
Volume Discounts on Customer Orders

As the dollar amount or volume of your order increases, so does the percentage of your volume discount. Volume Discounts begin at $50 and top out at 20% when the invoice amount (net total after Inventory Discounts are applied) reach $1000. Volume Discounts are based off the Total Net Price of the items in an Order, before tax or shipping charges.

 Getting Dean’s Best Price

With these two discounts, you can rest assured that you are getting our best prices. You also get the benefit of knowing that we do not give any other discounts, to anyone, on any product - under any circumstance. Dean’s Cards was founded in 2001 and we have never made an exception to this policy.

The reason for this policy is simple: Our customers know that they are getting our best price, so they know that they do not have to contact us to negotiate on every order. This is all part of making buying from Dean’s Cards fast,easy and fun. From our perspective, with the amount of business that we do on a daily basis, we would be overwhelmed by the number of inquiries.

If you have any questions please contact us.

Baseball Card Testimonials from Dean’s Cards Customers

by Dean Hanley
Founder and Owner of Dean's Cards

Who can you trust when you buy baseball cards on the Internet? At a time when many people are concerned about the impersonal nature of doing business online, we are proud of the positive testimonials we continually get from customers who buy baseball cards from Dean’s Cards and sell baseball card collections to Dean’s Cards.

Since I began Dean’s Cards from my basement in 2001, our goal has been to surpass customer expectations in the quality of cards they receive from us and also to deliver personal customer service. We understand that baseball card collecting is a very personal hobby and each customer has different collecting needs. That’s why we developed a website that shows you actual images of the cards you buy to eliminate any surprises -- and it’s why we have grown to a staff of 14 people and 5,000 sq. ft. of office space to meet the growing service needs of collectors.

I am often humbled by the positive testimonials we receive from customers. If you are considering buying baseball cards or selling baseball cards, I encourage you to read our testimonials. Since I am a fellow collector, my goal was to create a store where I would love to shop and that also had the best selection of cards available anywhere.

Vintage baseball card complete sets assembled and sleeved for a Dean's Cards customer.

Dean's Cards works hard to earn the trust and respect of every customer. When it comes to buying vintage sports cards and magazines, I know that condition is critical. We would much rather "under grade" a card than "over grade" it. For that reason, we tend to grade the cards we sell more conservatively than most. Still, I also understand that judging a card's condition can sometimes be subjective, which is why we offer a 100% Money Back Satisfaction Guarantee on all purchases.

Our goal at Dean's Cards is to provide you a simple, cost effective and enjoyable way to build your collections. If you want us to build a custom set of vintage baseball cards or you just need individual cards to complete your set, Dean’s Cards can offer you the following benefits:

• The largest online vintage card inventory. When it comes to vintage card inventory, size definitely matters. Dean's Cards has the largest online selection of cards and magazines.  
• Buy all your cards from one source. There are sites that allow hundreds of dealers to list the cards that they have to sell. The problem is that if you need to purchase 50 cards, you will probably be getting cards from three dozen different dealers with varying grading standards. You also have to pay three dozen different shipping charges. When buying from us you get consistent grading, one shipping charge, and a great customer service team.          
• Scans of the actual cards you buy. When you search our website, you can see scans of the actual cards you buy. And you can compare the condition of cards in different grades to make a wise choice. 
• Discounts on all orders over $50. The larger the order, the deeper the discount. For more information on our discounts click here.
• Tough Grading Standards. Dean's Cards grades on par with the professional grading companies – but we go a key step beyond those standards. We take into account a card’s “eye appeal.”
• 100% money back satisfaction guarantee. Just contact us within 10 days of your purchase date and we will refund your money or replace the card.

But our customers say it best! Dean's Cards is proud of the positive comments we get from customers who buy cards from us – and we look forward to building a long-term relationship with you so we can help you with all of your collecting needs.

We sell our cards at competitive prices -- and we offer top dollar if you're interested in selling your vintage cards.

Dean's Cards Recently Added Cards (RAC): The Hottest Cards Are Here First

by Dean Hanley
Owner of Dean’s Cards

Every week we add thousands of cards to our Dean’s Cards inventory of vintage baseball cards, football cards, basketball cards, hockey cards, other sports cards and non-sports cards – but there is one place where you can easily find the hottest additions to our inventory. Just go to the Recently Added Cards (RAC) page, which you can find linked on the right side of our Home page.

Our Recently Adds Cards (RAC) page shows our latest vintage cards.

Since we are always buying card collections, our team of card experts first personally inspects and grades all cards. Then the cards are scanned so you can see the actual cards that you buy – that takes the guesswork out of knowing how your cards will look when you receive them.

Our customers routinely tell us that are very pleased with the quality of the cards they purchase from us since we use the Grading Standards of PSA as the minimum baseline for grading the cards in our inventory. One positive aspect of Dean's Cards grading standards is that we take into account a card's "eye appeal."  Other grading companies, such as PSA do not always take "eye appeal" into account when grading cards. As collectors ourselves, we tend to be a bit more critical of a card's eye appeal than the professional grading companies. Collectors who are accustomed to purchasing ungraded cards from other vendors are usually amazed at our tough grading standards.

I encourage you to visit our RAC page regularly to find the latest additions to our inventory, since many cards go quickly. Here are a few recent “Star Card” additions that may interest you:

• 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle rookie card – The card was rated by PSA as authentic, but it has been trimmed. Still, the card is a beautiful example of this highly sought card.

• 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth baseball cards – This set actually featured four Babe Ruth cards and we now have two of them available: Babe Ruth #144 and Babe Ruth #181, both graded as PSA 3.

• 1949 Leaf Joe DiMaggio baseball card -- The 1949 Leaf set was the first to be printed in color post-war and DiMaggio’s card was No. 1 in the set.
• 1950 Bowman Ted Williams baseball cards – available in PSA 3 and 5
• 1952 Bowman Willie Mays baseball card -- The 1952 Bowman Baseball cards are one of the first to feature the players' printed autographs.  

• 1953 Topps Willie Mays baseball card -- The 1953 Topps baseball cards feature numerous large close-up portraits of the players.
• 1953 Topps Jackie Robinson – Card No. 1 in this popular set.

• 1955 Topps Sandy Koufax rookie card – You’ll find this card in a variety of grades.

And, of course, you can find all the latest Mickey Mantle baseball cards by visiting this special page we created to celebrate The Mick’s career in baseball cards. You'll also see a special video about Mickey Mantle baseball cards.

If you’re looking for early 20th century baseball cards, the RAC page will show you our latest additions, including T3 Turkey Red baseball cards, T206 baseball cards, T204 Ramly baseball cards, and T205 Gold border cards.

If you are a set collector, you’ll also find our latest complete sets, near complete sets, starter sets, near complete sets, and additions to sets on the RAC page. Some of the latest additions include:

• 1933 Goudey baseball cards
• 1934 Goudey baseball cards
• 1953 Topps baseball cards complete set
• 1959 Topps baseball cards complete set
• 1966 Topps baseball cards complete set

The RAC page is updated many times throughout the week, so we hope you will visit often to see the latest and greatest we have to offer you at Dean’s Cards!

Build a Custom Vintage Baseball Card Set: Dean's Cards

Let Us Build a Vintage Baseball Card Set Just for You!

by Dean Hanley,
Founder and Owner of Dean's Cards

Dean’s Cards has hundreds of vintage sets available online, but some of our customers ask us to meet some exact specifications for their sets. That’s when we reach into our vintage cards inventory of more than 1.5 million cards and custom build a set for you.

As an example, a new customer recently came to us and asked us to custom build sets for more than 20 consecutive years in a specific condition for each year. Our grading team quickly went to work and met the customer’s needs.

Some vintage baseball card sets recently built at DeansCards.com.

Due to the value of the cards, most Pre-War baseball card sets and 1952 Topps sets are custom built. Often, when collectors spend this amount of money, they are very particular on what they want.

Our staff of card grading experts reviews the cards personally to make sure you receive a set with the consistent grade you requested. And we grade our cards conservatively, on par with PSA standards – but we even go one step further. We take into account a card's "eye appeal” when we assemble a set.

Card collectors who are accustomed to purchasing ungraded sets from other vendors, are usually amazed at our tough grading standards – and the consistency of the condition of the cards in the sets we build for them. Other grading companies do not always take "eye appeal" into account when grading cards. Even if a card meets all of PSA's technical requirements for a particular grade, we also require that it have an overall look that represents that grade.

Our goal for your Dean's Cards custom set purchase is the exact same goal as we have when we buy cards -- we want you to be completely satisfied with the set you receive and never have to be hassled with returning unwanted cards for replacements. Our entire staff will do everything that we possibly can to exceed your expectations on the first try. No mistakes and no excuses. Your time is too valuable and your business is greatly appreciated. In short, we build your card set as if we were building it for our own collection.

If you are looking for a card set that is not listed online, please contact us and let us know how we can build a set for you.

Please note that many expensive, custom-built sets require a deposit and/or milestone payments. Depending on their complexity, the set construction projects can take weeks, months, or sometimes even years.

The 70th Anniversary of "The Streak"

Joltin' Joe.  

The Yankee Clipper.  

Joseph Paul DiMaggio.  

Whatever name you choose to use, this is the hero of a whole generation of baseball fans.  This past weekend, on July 16, commemorated the 70th anniversary of the end of a hitting streak likely never to be seen again.

# 274 Joe DiMaggio XRC - 1938 Goudey Heads Up

In 1941, Joltin' Joe DiMaggio reeled off a string of hitting in 56 straight games. Amazingly enough, after "The Streak" ended, DiMaggio would start another 16-game hitting streak his next appearance.  This means that the Yankee Clipper would have a hit in an astonishing 72 out of 73 games!

# 1 Joe DiMaggio - 1940 Play Ball Autographed Card

Our most prized piece of Yankee Clipper memorabilia would have to be this 1940 Play Ball Baseball card, signed by DiMaggio himself. Not to say that this is the only beautiful and nostalgic DiMaggio item for sale.  Dean's Cards also has Joe DiMaggio Goudey cards, Joe DiMaggio Topps Cards, and Joe DiMaggio Upper Deck Cards for sale.  We also have an extensive offering of Joe DiMaggio old Sporting News, Who's Who, Baseball Digest, Street & Smith's Baseball Yearbook, and Sports Illustrated magazines.

For more information on Joe DiMaggio Baseball Cards and to buy or sell Joltin' Joe DiMaggio Baseball Cards, Publications or Memorabilia, please check out our vintage baseball inventory.  DeansCards.com also has a large selection of reprint and retro cards bearing the likeness of the Yankee Clipper.

In 2007, Topps produced a set commemorating "The Streak."

1909 T206 Baseball Cards

T206 is the most famous set ever produced. Dean's Cards recently sent off approximately 150 of the big name T206 baseball cards to PSA to be graded. The majority came back as PSA 4 and PSA 5. We have multiple cards of many of the Hall-of-Fame players. It was just so cool having so many of these amazing old cards, we had to make a video to share it with you guys. These cards are listed online and ready to buy - just click on the Dean's Cards T206 Page.



If you are interested in Tobacco Cards, you really need to pick up the new book The T-206 Collection: the Players & Their Stories. The amount of detail put into this book is astounding, and it will be used as a reference book for years to come.

Although the book has an image of each T-206 card, it focuses more on the players. Most of us baseball historians are familiar with most of the 76 Hall-of-Fame Players in the set, but the book contains a paragraph of information on all of 524 players in the T-206 baseball card set. This is an astounding accomplishment when you consider the fact that many of the T-206 cards feature minor league players that played the game a century ago.

This great book is written by Tom & Ellen Zappala - who I had the opportunity to meet at this National Sports Card Show. You can get more information or buy the book at T206Players.com. When we find a good thing, I always try to pass the information on to our customers and friends in the hobby.

If you can not afford T-206 originals, then you can always start off with T-206 Reprints.

In 1952, Topps used a 13 year old photo!

In a letter published in the July 9, 2010 issue of Sports Collectors Digest, I found where Topps used a seven year old photo of Tommie Aaron for his 1969 card.  I also stated that this was the oldest photo that I was aware of Topps ever using on a post war regular player card - but if some one could find an older one – we would reward them with a $50 DeansCards.com Gift Certificate.

Well, it did not take long.  Last night, I received an e-mail from Joe S, who discovered that Topps used at least a 13-year old photo on 1952 Topps #101 Max Lanier.  Very Well Done!

There is no way of knowing this, unless you see the old photograph of Lanier in a Cardinals uniform.  In the photo, Lanier is wearing a Cardinals cap that they last wore in 1939.  In 1940, the Cardinals began wearing blue caps with red bills.

Joe, I hope you enjoy your DeansCards.com Gift Certificate.

Here's the Ultimate out-dated photo



Title: Is the photo on the 1969 Topps Tommie Aaron card the most out-dated that Topps ever used?

Below is the a copy of my letter that was published in the July 9, 2010 'Feedback" section of Sport's Collectors Digest.  Since writing the letter, I was able to find a 1969 Topps Autographed Tommie Aaron card and add it to my collection.  I also noticed that Topps used a closer crop of the same photo on the 1963 card as they used on the 1969 card.  Tommies' 1963 Topps cards  verifies my theory that the picture was taken in 1962.


I really enjoyed reading Keith Olbermann’s comments in the June 18^th edition of SCD on the 1969 Topps article written by T.S. O’Connell and contributed to by yours truly.  Keith was able to date the photo on Chris Short’s 1969 Topps Baseball Card to either 1962 or 1963 because of the Polo Grounds scoreboard in the background.  Very well done, Keith.



As a life long fan of the 1969 Topps set, it made me wonder what is the oldest photograph used on a card in the 1969 Topps set?  Although Short’s photo may have been taken during the 1962 season, the earliest photo that I could identify with absolute certainty in the 1969 Topps set was card #128 of Tommie Aaron. 1962 was Tommie Aaron’s rookie year and also the last year that the Braves wore the uniform with the ‘Tomahawk” across the chest.

This means that Topps definitely used a seven year old photo for this card! To my knowledge, this is a record for any card in any Topps vintage set.  Topps seems to have sunk to their lowest point of using out-dated photos in the 1969 set.

What makes this even more interesting to me is that the oldest photo is on Tommie Aaron’s card.  I truly felt sorry for Hank’s kid brother.  This poor guy just could not seem to catch a break.

If I am correct about this 7 year old picture being a record for Topps, Tommie is now the dubious answer to a second obscure trivia question.  (The other being, “What brothers hold the major league record for the most combined career Home Runs with 768?”)

Tommie was top prospect and very good minor league player.  He was the International League MVP and led the Richmond Braves to a league pennant in 1967. In the majors, Tommie could not escape the shadow of his brother.  In 7 major league seasons, he hit only 13 home runs with a .229 batting average.  Much worse, Tommie died of leukemia in 1984 at the very young age of 45.



As an unthinking 5 year old kid, I can remember looking at the stats on the back of Tommie’s card and asking my father, “How can this guy’s brother be such a great player and this guy be so bad?”  Evidently, I was not the only person to ask this question.  Nor was my Dad the only person that could not answer it.

Hank Aaron was quoted in The Sporting News (April 8, 1999) as saying, "He (Tommie) meant a lot to me. I think if he played with another ball club, I think he probably would have had a better major league career. The media was always comparing us. I'm sure, by me being successful, it put a lot of pressure on him. He couldn't play up to his potential."

I am fairly confident that Tommie’s is the oldest photo used in the 1969 set.  Topps may have used an older photo in some other vintage set, but no other card comes to mind.

To make this interesting, I will give a $50 DeansCards.com Gift Certificate to the first person who can show convincing evidence that Topps used an older picture (for a regular player card) in any of their vintage (pre-1974) sets.

If you are interested in more information on my 1969 Topps Autographed set, I have posted a You Tube Video and a slideshow of each of the scans of the cards in my autographed set at http://blog.deanscards.com/ Enjoy.

Dean’s Autographed 1969 Topps baseball card set

What does the owner of Dean's Cards collect for fun? This year it is the 1969 Topps Baseball card set - completely autographed. I have posted the set online so everyone can enjoy it. Please click here to view the Autographed 1969 Topps baseball card set.

The mailman just delivered the June 4th copy of the Sports Collectors Digest. The cover story and featured set is this issue is my personal favorite – the 1969 Topps Set. T.S O’Connell was kind enough to ask me to help contribute to his 1969 Topps baseball card article.

SCD also published a short article my me about my 1969 Topps autographed set. It was a total surprise to me. Please feel free to check it out.



Since I also write about vintage sets, I look forward to T.S.’s set articles. No one does a better job writing about vintage sets than T.S. If you do not subscribe to SCD, you may want to check out T.S.’s 1969 Topps Article online.

I am not sure that I will ever get the set completed, but it sure has been fun. I have posted scans of the partially completed 1969 Topps Baseball Card set online for everyone’s enjoyment.

Six of my favorite 1969 Topps autographed cards include:

#95 Johnny Bench’s Topps All-Star Rookie Card signed in pen. This is my personal favorite of all of Bench's cards. Take notice of the #55 on his jersey. The uniform that Bench is wearing is the home jersey that the Reds wore up through the 1966 season. This photograph was most likely taken in spring training of 1966 when Bench was 18 years old.

#147 Leo Durocher - I admire the time and care that Leo took in signing the card. Leo was once described as the “most hated man in baseball”. Although “Leo the Lip” looks fairly tame on his 1969 card, he was known for his combative nature. As a player, Leo would constantly get into fist fights with players, umpires and fans.  (To Leo's credit, he never came to blows with the peanut vendor.)  In 1969, his Cubs were in 1st place by 5 games on Sept 1st. The Cubs went 8-17 during the month and finished 8 games behind the Mets. Someday, after everyone that knew him personally is dead and gone, Leo may make it into the Hall-of-Fame.

# 215 Rico Petrocelli – A nice pen signature. Rico had his career in 1969 and set an AL record with most HR’s by a Shortstop with 40. His fielding average that year was a .981, so he could not have been that bad of a fielder.  The poor guy only finished 7th in voting for the MVP. Great year Rico!

#260 Reggie Jackson – Look at this signature! I love (hate) this card, because it seems to go with everything that we read and hear about this guy. Who else (Willie Mays excluded) would have the guts to deface his expensive rookie card with a signature like this? I guess that they were not paying Reggie enough money at this particular show. That said, Jackson did have a great year in 1969. The 23 year old Jackson hit 47 HR’s and had 118 RBI’s.

#601 Tug McGraw – You can’t talk about 1969, without including at least one of the 1969 Amazing Mets. The 24 year old McGraw had a break out year in 1969 and helped the Mets pull off a major upset. Up to that point, the Mets would not let him throw the screwball. I am missing quite a few of the Mets 1969 Topps autographed cards from my set. It is not that they are hard to find. They are not. There have been many cards shows featuring this team. They are expensive!

#573 Jim Palmer -  This was my favorite card as a kid. I always wore my index finger outside my glove because of this card. Most fans do not realize that Palmer's carreer was considered finished. Jim hurt his arm in 1967 and did not pitch in the majors in 1968. He was left unprotected for the first two rounds of the 1969 expansion draft, but even these start-up teams were afraid to take a chance on him. Palmer bounced back and went 16-4 with a 2.34 ERA in 1969 and was on his way to the Hall-of-Fame.

I currently have 546 cards autographed by different players, with 134 more to obtain. 42 of the players that appear in the 1969 Topps set are currently in the Baseball Hall-of-Fame and 116 are now deceased.  Click Here to view the whole 1969 Topps autographed set.

The 1956 Topps Baseball Card Set

The 1956 Topps baseball card set marked both the end of one era and the beginning of the next.  Topps had just purchased the Bowman Gum Company the year before and had now begun a quarter of a century monopoly of the sports cards market.

The 1956 Topps baseball cards were the last of the larger-sized vintage cards and the last to use hand-colored black & white photos.  These were the same old photos of most of the players that Topps used in the 1954 and 1955 sets.  At least they were decent photos, but the disadvantage of using old photos was that only 10 players had rookie cards.  The only player with a 1956 Topps Rookie card to make the Hall of Fame was #292 Luis Aparicio.

During the 1956 season Topps sent a photographer to take actual color photos of the players that would first appear on the 1957 Topps cards.  That is the reason the 1957 Topps baseball card set contains so many great rookie cards.

The visual backgrounds on the 1956 Topps cards are a beautiful complement to the large portrait in the foreground.  The most stunning part of the cards (and my favorite innovation ever) is the action shots of the players running and sliding in the background surrounded by lots of green, green grass and dirt with chalk lines.

1956 Topps baseball card set was the best horizontal set that Topps ever produced. Some of my favorite 1956 Topps cards include: Willie Mays sliding into home, Ted Williams watching his dinger sail into the right field bleachers and Ernie Banks crossing the plate and shaking hands after a Home Run.  What makes 1956 Topps even more incredible is when you realize that these were probably the only color pictures that the kids of the day would see of their heroes.

The 1956 Topps baseball card set was the first to feature checklist cards.  Unfortunately, there was not enough printed. To make matters worse for collectors many of the 1956 Topps checklist cards were written on or discarded.

Today the checklist cards are very expensive and hard to find.   So much so, that the 1956 Topps set is considered “complete” without the checklists.  Most collectors can rationalize paying hundreds or even thousands of dollars for a superstar player, but not a checklist.  Topps would further evolve the idea of checklist in future years and eventually solve the problem.

The best innovation of 1956 was the team cards.  The team card idea was a keeper and has been used in every vintage Topps set since – except for 1969.  All 16 teams were represented in the 1956 Topps set, but the six team cards that were printed in the first series each have three common variations.

Another oddity with the 1956 Topps baseball cards set is that the cards numbered #1 to #`180 were printed on both white and grey card stock.  Collectors generally ignore this difference and it is not officially considered a variation.  In the years that Dean’s Cards has been around, I can only recall one guy who was collecting those 180 cards in both the white and grey backs.

Please step back in time with me for a just moment.  It is the spring of 1956.  You are are a kid.  You ride your trusty bike several miles to the dime store and park it on the sidewalk in front of the store.  You patiently wait in line while some lady buys shampoo.  When it is your turn, you eagerly hand the cashier your last copper coin and ask for a Topps baseball card penny pack.

You pull the wrapper open at the seam of the back of the pack and cram the big piece of pink gum in your mouth, you take a big bite and begin to chew.  The anticipation grows.  The gum is hard, so you continue to chew until it moistens a bit.  You wonder, “What card will I get?  Will it be Mantle, Banks, Mays or maybe Ted Williams?”   You put the rest of the gum in your mouth.

The gum is starting to get soft.  You get the sweet taste of the sugar in your mouth.  You pull the wrapper back just a bit more.  You can now see the back of the card. Wait for it.  Here it comes!  It’s the BIG moment.  It is a card of … of … of …  “Who is this old geezer with grey hair?” That’s not Mantle…  it’s Warren Giles???….  #@*^%!

I am not quite sure what Topps was thinking when they devoted the first two cards of the set to William Harridge and Warren Giles.  Topps must have been kissing up for future favors from the commissioners.   Topps even double printed the Giles card!  What a waste of good cardboard.

A few years ago, a 1956 Topps uncut sheet from the first series was discovered.  We now know that at least 10 of the 1956 Topps cards were “double printed”.  These DP’s included Hall-of-Fame players Ernie Banks, Jackie Robinson, Hank Aaron and the wonderful Warren Giles.

1957 Topps Baseball Card Set

The 1957 Topps Baseball Card set remains a favorite among collectors for its color photographs and its use the vintage ballparks as backdrops.  Critics often fuss that the photos have a greenish tint, but I personally think that this adds to the charm of the set. Beginning with the 1957 Topps Baseball Card set, the size of the card was reduced to the standard that we are still using today.

Topps packed the 1^st series with a lot of star power, as the set contains 7 Hall of Famers in the first 20 cards and 23 HOFers in the first 100 cards.  With 407 cards, the 1957 Topps Baseball Card set was the largest set that Topps produced up until that time.  That said, that number would be bested the following year and again in 1959.

There is still no Stan Musial card in the set. Stan had a $100,000 a year salary and felt that he was worth more than the $125 that Topps paid each of the players.  Stan would finally consent to having his images put back on cards in 1958.

Dean’s Cards builds over 100 vintage sets each year and the1957 Topps Baseball Card set is definitely one of the tougher sets to put together.  Not only does the 1957 Topps set have eight great rookie cards, but also the 4^th series is so scarce that it is tough to complete – especially in higher conditions.

The 1957 Topps set contained two multi-player cards of the Dodgers Sluggers #400 and Yankees Power Hitters #407.  Topps would continue the trend of the Multi-player star cards for another dozen years.  It is was great way to get the stars of the day on one more card.

Topps also inserted 4 contest cards, an ad card and 4 contest cards into the set.  The checklist cards are near impossible to find in nice condition, as many were either marked up or discarded by the kids.  Because of the cost of the checklists and ad cards, most collectors consider the set complete without any of these special cards or the Baker Error Card.
