1974 Topps Baseball Cards Checklist

1974 Topps Baseball Cards Checklist

Product Details

User Rating:

1974 Topps Baseball forever changed the baseball card landscape as the single-series format made it easier to collect the entire set.

A classic design, a few key rookie cards, and plenty of stars equal to a fan-favorite release from the 1970s.

1974 Topps Baseball Set Details

The 1974 Topps Baseball set is comprised of 660 base cards. It marked the first time that Topps released their annual baseball card product in its entirety as compared to several series throughout the baseball season. The primary reason that Topps adopted this new release schedule was to prevent their baseball card products from competing with their football card releases. Sales of late-season baseball cards always suffered with the advent of the football season. In hindsight, it's surprising that it took the company over 20 years to realize this fact and change accordingly.

The key rookie card within the set is that of Hall of Famer Dave Winfield (#456). Other notable rookies include Ken Griffey, Sr. (#598), Bucky Dent, (#582), Frank Tanana (#605), and Dave Parker (#252). Anchoring the veteran checklist are Hank Aaron (who actually occupies the first six cards on the checklist), Pete Rose (#300) and Nolan Ryan (#20), along with a host of other future Hall of Fame players. Also of note is that the 1974 Topps Baseball card set contains the final regular issue cards of Hall of Fame players Luis Aparicio (#61), Orlando Cepeda #(83) and Al Kaline (#215).

Topps distributed the cards in numerous packaging options and price points. Collectors had their choice of wax packs (10c), cellos (25c), and rack packs (39c). Vending boxes containing 500 individual cards were also available to retailers and distributors.

1974 was also the first year that Topps sold a complete factory set. It was available exclusively through JC Penny's department store catalog. A bonus to purchasing the set was the inclusion of the first-ever "Traded" set, which contained 44 cards of players who had changed teams at some point during the year.

1974 Topps Baseball Subsets

Included in the base set are the following subsets:

  • Hank Aaron Tribute: #1-6
  • League Leaders: #201-208
  • All-Stars: #331-339
  • Playoff Highlights: #470 and #471
  • World Series Highlights: #472-479
  • Topps Rookie Stars: #596-608

There are also Field Leaders cards for each team that highlight the coaching staff.

1974 Topps Baseball Design

Measuring the standard 2-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches, the white-bordered cards feature colored pennants on opposite corners of the top and bottom edges of the card fronts that house the team city and nickname. Also appearing on the front of the card is the player's name and position, filling the space in the remaining corners. The result is a very sharp presentation with a clean look that accentuates the color photography.

The card backs contain the customary biographical and statistical information with the color scheme being green and the natural gray color of the card stock. An anecdotal cartoon is also included on the back with a comical quotation.

1974 Topps Baseball Variations and Errors

Prior to the start of the 1974 MLB season, it appeared that the San Diego Padres were going to be relocated to Washington. As such, the initial production run of 1974 Topps Baseball cards featured Padres players playing for Washington, in the National League. The plans to move the team fell through at the last minute, forcing Topps to make some quick revisions. All subsequent production runs were printed with the corrected team information. As a result, the 1974 Topps Baseball card set is considered to have 18 variations, which brings the master set count to 678 total cards.

1974 Topps Baseball Supplemental Sets

In addition, the Topps Company printed two ancillary products in 1974. The first cards were the scalloped-cut Deckle Edge. Printed in oversized black and white, the cards measure 2-7/8 by 5 inches. The front of the cards featured a blue facsimile signature. Consisting of 72 total cards, the checklist is dominated by star players of the era, including Bob Gibson (#3), Tom Seaver (#9) and Pete Rose (#16), to name a few.

The second release was a set of 240 stamps. They are tough to find, in any condition, although uncut sheets do exist. Even tougher to find are the albums that were available at the time to house the stamps.

Great set! It reminds me of when I was ten years old and my grandfather gave me 50 cents to go down the street to the candy store and pick up a pack. I can still see the hard stick of gum! Great times and it was fun to be a kid. I plan on starting to collect this set soon

This is one of the best sets Topps put out. Unfortunately many of the cards are miscut and it is hard to find that PSA 10. Lots of good rookies and plenty of Hall of Famers. Now if they would just put Dave “COBRA” Parker in the HOF it would be perfect.

I like the 1974 Topps set much better than I like the 1973 set, which might have been the worst-looking Topps set of the 1970’s. The 1974 set might not have been as interesting as the 1971 or 1972 set, but it is a rather colorful set. I managed to complete the 1974 set sometime in the 1980’s, when old cards were considerably cheaper then.
