Excerpt
The cards in this 587-card set measure 2 1/2" by 3 1/2". In 1961, Topps returned to the vertical obverse format. Introduced for the first time were 'League Leaders' (41-50) and separate numbered checklist cards. Two number 463s exist, the Braves team card carrying that number was meant to be card 426.
