The 598 card 1968 Topps Baseball Card Set was an attempt to try something a little different. Opinion on the 1968 Topps Set are mixed. The speckled borders on the cards do an effective job of hiding minor dings and many high grade cards are still available.
Because the expansion teams came the following year, I like the 1968 Topps Baseball Card Set because it features many of the players on their pre-expansion teams. The key 1968 Topps Rookie Cards are Johnny Bench #247 and Nolan Ryan#177. 1968 Topps Card #177 featuring Rookies Nolan Ryan & Jerry Koosman holds the record for 546 Total Career Wins and 8270 Strike Outs on a Rookie Card! Be sure to also check out card #490 - a group shot of Harmon Killebrew, Willie Mays & Mickey Mantle.
