1963 Topps Baseball Set Details

Despite a new level of competition from Fleer  in 1963, Topps continued to dominate the baseball card market in a big way. Many vintage collectors believe that '63 Topps is one of the best baseball card sets ever produced. The design was created using 1953 Topps Baseball as the framework and adds impressive photography and sharp colors.

Coming in slightly smaller than the previous year, the 1963 Topps Baseball base set includes of a total of 576 cards. The card bottoms feature colored panels that contain the player's name, position, and team, while extending all the way to the bottom of the card. Because of this, the bottom card corners show damage very easily, making it especially difficult to find these cards in high-grade condition. Base cards also feature a small black-and-white image within a colored, circular background.

The backs of the 1963 Topps Baseball cards are equally impressive, showcasing comprehensive career and season-by-season statistics. Not only are they informative, but they look great as well, thanks in part to the use of yellow/gold ink and the contrasting black font and white background. Accompanying the biographical and statistical information is one of Topps' classic cartoons providing a whimsical blurb about the depicted player.
