Default “Popular Cards” = Premium Prices

Thanks for sharing the price sheet for the various 1960s Topps sets. It’s interesting to see some of the cards that are listed as “popular” — and therefore demand a premium price. Some of the head-scratchers include: Glenn Beckert, Roy McMillan, Del Crandall, Wilbur Wood and Smokey Burgess.

I realize that some of them were on All Star teams in their day, but it’s kinda humorous to see them grouped together as “popular cards” along with Yaz, Banks, Killebrew, Robinson, Kaline, Marichal, Stargell, McCovey, etc.

And how ‘bout that — Bob Eucker is listed among the popular kids in the 1964 set!
