This 1964 Topps Giants Complete Set w/o Short Prints, contains the majority of the 60 over-sized baseball cards, each measuring 3 1/8" by 5 1/4, but excludes the harder to find, and more expensive, short print cards. This version of the set is very popular with collectors on a budget.
The fronts of each card contain a color photograph of the player, as well as a baseball near the bottom of the card with his name, team and position. The backs of the each card use a newspaper format to provide biographical information, as well as another black and white action shot. The 1964 Topps Giants Baseball originally sold in 3 card packs, with a stick of bubble, for a nickel.
Topps designed this set with fairness in mind, as there are three players from each team. While that may sound like a good idea, to produce 3 cards for players from the lowly Colt 45s and Senators, meant that some major stars were omitted. So instead of Eddie Mathews, Pete Rose and Willie McCovey, the 1964 Topps Giants Set went with Ken Johnson, Dave Wickersham and Galen Cisco. That aside, with over one-third of players in set are enshrined in the Hall-of-Fame, the 1964 Topps Giants is a great baseball card set to own.
The 1964 Topps Giants Set has 7 very tough to find cards: #3 Sandy Koufax, #28 Bob Friend, #42 Dick Stuart, #45 Wayne Causey, #47 Galen Cisco, #51 Willie Mays and #60 Bill Skowron. The other high dollar cards in the 1964 Topps Giants Set are: #11 Roberto Clemente and #25 Mickey Mantle.
