1964 Topps - Is There A Set With More Variability?

[Rich Klein]

There are more quirks to this set than one may realize.

The high numbers are tough but not impossible the way some 61, 66 and 67s are but I had a devil of a time back in the day getting the Hi # Phil Niekro RC

There are some informational blurbs you want to shake your head at including two of my favorites., If I get them wrong please forgive me as I'm going from memory

The Archie Skeen RC has this classic on the back, "Archie has retired to be a school teacher". How did you not replace him in the set?

The Bennett/Wise RC has this sentence: This 19 year old righthander is only 18 years old., Guess Topps invented time travel more than six decades ago.

Gene Conley is pictured in the last series as an Indian. His Indian career, well, 2 minor league games in what we could call rehab today and that was the conclusion.

No really big RC's BUT 3 HOF Rookie Cards *unless I'm missing one* Dick
"Don't call me Richie" Allen; Tony LaRussa and the aforementioned Phil Niekro

There is NO WAY you can get a complete autograph set: Jim Umbricht mentions his passing on the back and Ken Hubby on the Front.


I do wish they had put in a career capper card for Stan Musial in the 1st series but that's me

Etc Etc Etc
