Finally finished my 1959 Topps set!

[curtis-cards]

I purchased my last card for this yesterday. It was the Boston Team card in the grey back variation. My set includes all white and grey backs and the no option/trade variations. I've also included the NL Hitting kings version w/ the "A" printed between their shoulders.

Are there other variations in this set? I wanted to collect all the variations for this set.

I will be slowly adding them to my SGC registry and uploading them to my collector focus page.

I'm very happy to finish this set!

What to start next??

Congratulation Curt. That set was the first Topps set I finished and therefore a sentimental favorite. There is a great thread on it on the PSA boards in the PSA forum there.

And yes there are other variations/variants in the set beyond those you mentioned, some formally recognized, others not. These are some I have:

-there are the 3 Spahn DOB cards
-the Ramos upper left front border irregularity
-the Porterfield green line on back along the years
-the Early Wynn with partial missing left back border...and another with
a botched i in pitcher on front
-Zimmer with botched o in Dodgers on front
--House with botched T in Complete on back and another with partially
missing back border along HR stats
--Sauer with varying and sometimes significant yellow streaks in bottom
front border
--Drabowsky with irregular top front border
--Sullivan with 3 different copyrights on back
--McDaniel with with streak at logo
--Brown with botched r in Brown on front
--Singleton with botched h in Cubs on front, and also yellow in bottom
like Sauer

Beautiful. I completed this set in 1993, though not with all grey back variations. It is the very first vintage set I ever completed. It was a tremendous thrill. I do have a couple of wrong backs and I believe a blank back. I do have the no option variations too. This is a great set and a wonderful accomplishment. As for what to do next, I do highly recommend the 1956 Topps set, the greatest of all time!

Thanks! I do have the all the Sphann variations, but need to look into the other versions. I'll look at the PSA thread too.

Thanks! This is my first set to complete since the 90's. Iat only took a couple of years.

The Sullivan also has a front difference...a brown box below logo

Would it be possible for you to post scans of some of these variations? Some you mentioned I have not seen before.

Thanks,

How rare and valuable is the All Star Rookie card insert. Also is this from 1959 or 1960? I have this card but got it a long time ago. Thanks!

There is an "Elect Your Favorite Rookie" insert. Are you talking about this? Not sure how rare it is??

I don't have that one, but I do have the Felt pennant redemption.

Yes, that is the one I am talking about. I have only seen the one I have. I also have the felt pennant card too, but I have seen a few of them.

Interesting. Could you post a scan of it? I've never seen one.

I'm getting jealous of these variations. I need one of the rookie voting cards!!

[1963Topps Set]

Here are the requested scans. I would love to see the front of that salesman sample.

A few more odds and ends...

[curtis-cards]

These are awesome guys! Thanks for sharing.

How did y'all come across these?

[1963Topps Set]

Basically the Internet and card shows...

[curtis-cards]

Since you all posted the variations I don't have, I've gone on an eBay binge and purchased a number of them. Thanks for the heads up!

Also, I think I've found another Ramos variation. As I was looking for the border irregularity, I found a couple with a complete yellow line along the top border. Picked one up. I'll try and post a pic later.
