1964 Topps Giants Baseball Set Details

The 60-card 1964 Topps Giants Baseball checklist is highlighted by all-time hobby favorites like Mickey Mantle, Sandy Koufax, Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente and Hank Aaron. Building a set remains a reasonable task with such a small number of cards, especially when factoring in the prices. Even though a handful of short prints make sets a bit more of a challenge, supply is plentiful enough that they're not out of reach.

1964 Topps Giants Baseball Cards 1

1964 Topps Giants Baseball cards measure 3 1/8" by 5 1/4". Card fronts have a simple design. The larger format makes for big, posed player photos. Beyond that, fronts have very few design elements. Pictures have a small white border. A baseball icon at the bottom has the player's name position and team.

Card backs resemble a newspaper clipping. They have a headline, another photo, and a write-up of a career accomplishment.

Fantastic set. However, as some uncut sheets have appeared, it seems as though the short prints are not short prints at all. The Mantle was triple printed as well.

The 1964 Topps Giant Baseball (also called 1964 Topps Super Baseball) card set is a great-looking set. I bought the 1964 Topps Giant set (all 60 cards) for just $3 in 1975 from The Sport Hobbyist, a mail order firm based in Detroit, that used to advertise in various baseball magazines back in the 1970’s. Of course, old baseball cards were a lot cheaper back then. This 1964 set was actually the first set that I acquired, long before I put together or bought other sets later on.

I just recently started collecting this set. The photos are really great and have a bunch of them autographed. Wish I had started a few years earlier. Having fun with it! :)

Nice to have a small set size that boasts such a great list of Hall of Famers. The short-prints add a bit of challenge since they are truly scarce (about 1 out of every 40 normal cards). Great photography too puts this set towards the top of of great sets in the 1960s.
