1959 Topps Set (Baseball)

Set Notes
<

Excerpt

The cards in this 572-card set measure 2 1/2" by 3 1/2". The 1959 Topps set contains bust pictures of the players in a colored circle. Card numbers 551 to 572 are Sporting News All-Star Selections. High numbers 507 to 572 have the card number in a black background on the reverse, rather than in a green background as in the lower numbers. The high numbers are more difficult to obtain. Several cards in the 300s exist with or without and extra traded or option line on the back of the card. Cards 199 to 286 exist with either white or gray backs.
