1963 Topps

Number of Cards

576 cards in the 1963 Topps collection included 30 Cubs players and 1 variation.

Size of Cards

The size of the cards are standard-size 2 ½ x 3 ½

Basic Features

Although the number of cards in 1963 Topps decreased to 576, this was one of the most popular sets of the decade. The card fronts feature a large color player photograph with a smaller black and white portrait located inside a circle at the bottom of the card. The players' names, team and position are also located along the bottom in a color box. The backs contain the typical statistical information along with a cartoon and a short biography.

The set's rarest and most valuable issues are the high-number Series 7 (#523-576) and Series 6 (#447-522).

To prevent purchasing a false piece of history, always get a professionally graded card from a recognized provider. In the future, graded cards will be significantly more valuable.
