1969 BB Singles

1969 Topps Baseball is best known for Mr. October's rookie card. While the Reggie Jackson card is the clear favorite, the vintage set is also notable for Rollie Fingers' rookie and the final active issue for Mickey Mantle.

Upon release, the 664-card 1969 Topps Baseball checklist was the largest in the history of the sport. Although the sheer quantity is enough to make it stand out, '69 Topps' strong popularity is due to the many Hall of Fame names in the checklist, including Nolan Ryan's first single-player Topps card.

Very similar in overall design to the set from the previous year, 1969 Topps Baseball replaces the speckled border area with a traditional white. The design is not amazing, but features a much better look than 1968. The rounded border remains from the previous year. The team nickname is noted in block letters at the bottom of the card and a colored circle at the top of the card includes the player's name and position.
