1968 Topps Baseball features 598 standard sized cards with unique burlap borders. This set is more affordable than sets from earlier in the decade but still loaded with 1950s era stars like Mickey Mantle, Roberto Clemente, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, and Ernie Banks. 91 cards feature Hall of Famers! Starter sets and team sets from 1968 Topps are popular with collectors due to the level of star power at a reasonable price.
The set includes two blockbuster Hall of Fame rookies: Nolan Ryan & Jerry Koosman ( #177) and Johnny Bench ( #247). Nolan Ryan’s rookie card is especially popular because the multi-player card also features long-time standout Jerry Koosman. The duo won a combined 546 career games.
Subsets in the 1968 Topps set are League Leaders ( #1-12), World Series Highlights ( #151-158), and the Sporting News All-Stars ( #361-380). The high number series ( #498-598) is slightly more difficult and expensive to collect, as fewer cards were printed in the final series.
