Set Notes
<
Excerpt
The cards in this 576-card set measure 2 1/2" by 3 1/2". The sharp color photographs of the 1963 set are a vivid contrast to the drab pictures of 1962. In addition to the 'League Leaders' series (1-10) and World Series cards (142-148), the seventh and last series of cards (523-576) contains seven rookie cards (each depicting four players). Cards were issued, among other ways, in one-card penny packs and five-card nickel packs.

Score's inaugural football set is arguably the best modern gridiron issue.
A landmark set in 1952, the Topps baseball card set was the largest set of the time. It was Sy Berger's masterwork.
