1958 BB Singles

Set Description 

Topps again increased the size of the set in 1958, this year putting out a set of 495.  The design is fairly simple, with each photo being backdropped by a solid color background.  The players name is near the top border, with team logo and position/team near the bottom.  The back contains the player bio, cartoon regarding the player, and stats.  Besides Maris and Cepeda there isn't a ton of rookie power, but all the big names are included.  Many have multiple cards, as 1958 is the first year of the Sporting Magazine All-Star series.
