In honor of the passing of Willie Mays, we are featuring his 1959 Topps card. The 1959 Topps baseball set features a new design, 572 cards and is the first year they released the Rookie Stars subset and a Venezuelan set(196 cards). This was the largest Topps set in existence when originally released. The high-number series, card numbers 507-572 has the lowest print run of all the series in the set. Due to the new design, expanded checklist and new subsets, quite a few error cards were released creating corrected variations for several cards including 3 different variations for Warren Spahn and Haywood Sullivan. Known as the "Say Hey Kid", Willie Mays was the top stolen base leader for four consecutive years from 1956-59 which is mentioned on the reverse of his 1959 Topps card. Widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, Mays began his baseball career in the Negro Leagues. The MLB had a tribute game on Thursday, June 20th featuring the NY Giants and the St. Louis Cardinals in Birmingham, AL where Mays began his career.

The 2001 SP Authentic Autographs is home to the only autographed rookie card for Tiger Woods(SN900). The Authentic Stars parallel includes most of the rookie cards of which six cards are autographed and include Tiger Woods, David Duval and Sergio Garcia. Cards graded Gem Mint 10 are extremely valuable. Tiger is participating in the 2024 US Open at Pinehurst this weekend. He has 82 PGA event wins including 15 Majors, just 3 behind Jack Nicklaus' 18. Between 2000-2001, Woods is the only player to win all four majors in a row, now known as the "Tiger Slam".

The 2023 Topps Home Field Advantage cards were an unannounced insert which included 10 different players in both Series 1 and Series 2 including Juan Soto (San Diego), Shohei Ohtani (Anaheim), Ronald Acuna Jr. (Atlanta), Julio Rodriguez (Seattle), and Oneil Cruz (Pittsburgh). This Adley Rutschman card features many iconic places within Baltimore including Camden Yards, B&O Warehouse, City Hall, the 7-Foot Knoll lighthouse and the symbol for the Mount Vernon Historic District. The Oriole, which is the team name/mascot and the famous Maryland blue crab are also included in the image.

Hello Stephen, This has been updated.

2015-16 Upper Deck Young Guns Series 1 and Series 2 included some of the most anticipated rookies in recent years with Connor McDavid a clear favorite and this card is still extremely valuable. Other notables from this set include Jack Eichel, Max Domi, Artemi Panarin, and Dylan Larkin. McDavid will be starting in Game 5 of the Western Conference Final for Edmonton against the Dallas Stars, Friday, May 31st. McDavid has 4 goals and 24 assists in the playoffs. His regular season stats include 32 goals and 100 assists. He continues to be a key player and possibly a first ballot Hall of Famer.

1957-58 Topps basketball cards are a basketball classic as the only major set printed between 1948 and 1968. This is the first set of basketball cards produced by Topps. There are 22 players in the set that went on to become members of the Hall of Fame. Bill Russel's rookie card is easily the most valuable because he was the only major star that was not double printed.

Every Friday, we will feature a card and provide fun and interesting facts about the card. If you want to see more posts like these, please hit "Like" in the lower right corner.

Hi StephenWA, We responded to your request for a Bob Pettit player set, in January on the Chat Boards and February via email, stating we could not create a set due to minimum requirements. The 2 cards in your inventory have placement in company sets and you are receiving points for both cards. As far as a rookie player set, Bob Pettit only has 1 card considered a rookie card and we would not create a set for 1 card. Once more cards for Bob Pettit are graded, we would reconsider a player set.

Hello Stephen, This has been updated in the registry.
