The American Card Catalog first came out in 1937 and saw considerable growth over the years, leading to its last edition in 1960. This explains why many cards from 1960 onward are unc, since the book was not revised after that. The V category was the destination for Canada Candy.

Basic Features
Back in 1965, the company launched its baseball card production thanks to a license from Topps. Based in Ontario, this company was active in the baseball card scene from 1965 until 1992. This collection closely resembles the standard 1965 Topps set, with the notable difference being the phrase "Printed in Canada" located at the bottom of the back. The front showcases color player images set against a white border, complete with rounded corners. Below each photo, the team name is displayed within a pennant design. Additionally, the player's name and position are printed on the front. The backs, featuring a blue background, provide player biographies and statistics on gray card stock. These were produced in a lower quantity compared to the regular Topps issue.
