BBM Sumo 大相撲 Card Collection 1997-2024 This album contains my collection of Japanese-licensed BBM (Baseball Magazine) sumo wrestling cards/sets, starting with BBM's sumo debut, the 1997 "Modern" set, to date. A description appears under the first entry for each year (in the far left column), and notes the number of cards in the set. Sets from 1997-2010 are represented by scans of about 10-12 cards (6 cards for the more recent 2011-date sets) which include ALL active Yokozuna along with some of the other top/most popular rikishi cards of that year. Also included are special/short printed cards that were randomly inserted in card packs (or "inserts") and were NOT part of the regular set. These insert cards, issued from 1997-2003, are displayed in the rows beneath the regular (or "base") sets they were issued with. The rank assigned in each card's description is the highest the pictured rikishi would achieve in his career, though not necessarily his rank in the card/year shown. Cards from 2004 through 2007 are particularly difficult to locate, as BBM sumo card production purportedly dropped significantly during this period--which has been referred to by advanced collectors, such as Ryan Laughton and Paul Fogarty, as the "Black Hole" or "Lost Years/Dead Era" of sumo card collecting. A possible reason for the 2004-07 scarcity is a decline of Japanese interest in the sport following the retirement of mega-popular native son Yokozuna Takanohana in 2003 (after he had two years of frequent kyujo in 2001-02). Also, beginning with the 2004 set, BBM reduced the base set size to 99 cards, and discontinued insert cards--obvious signs of less demand in their Sumo product during that time. The tough 2004 set also features the debut of future Yokozuna Hakuho- the all time record holder for victories and championships- who appears on two cards in the set (#65 & #88)--arguably the 2 most valuable base set sumo cards that BBM has ever produced. The 2007 set in particular seems to surface far less than any other in my experience, and may well be the most difficult to complete. I have added some approximate current values for sets, insert sets and autographed cards underneath their descriptions. The values assigned are just my best guesses (updated as of 2023), as there is no price guide for sumo cards at the moment, and reflect my own purchase prices as well as my observations on recent transactions. At the bottom of the page, I have listed my autographed BBM Sumo cards, SCM /BBM promo Sumo cards, as well as some non-BBM Sumo cards. I have other sumo related albums on Imageevent, displaying my Trump Sumo playing card decks, my JSA licensed Sumo postcards and other Sumo collectibles. To view my other albums--just click the "HOME" button on the top of any of my pages. If anyone shares this collecting interest, I would heartily recommend the BBM Sumo Card Collectors page on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1630250003925942/ or you may contact me at supplex55@yahoo.com.

JSA 2018-2022 Sumo postcard collection The majority of these JSA (Japanese Sumo Association) licensed postcards, featuring active sumo wrestlers, were sold between 2018 and 2022. They now seem to have been discontinued/out of print. The Asashoryu postcard from the mid 2000's is my most treasured one (gifted to me by my wonderful, late friend Barbara Ann Klein), and this album contains all of the known postcards issued in the late Heisei and early Reiwa eras (2018-2022). I have other sumo related albums on Imageevent, displaying my Trump Sumo playing card decks and my BBM Sumo trading card sets. DAWN--contact John Paul Prestenbach (check my phone) should something happen to me regarding my sumo pages. |

Kokugikan Trump Sumo playing card decks Missing just a few minor variations, this is my collection of Japanese "Trump" sumo playing card decks from the Heisei Era (1989-2019). Also included are a few decks from the previous Showa Era (1926-1989), as well as all the decks from the current Reiwa Era (2020-date). Beginning in 1973, the Nihon Sumo Kyokai (NSK),also known as the Japan Sumo Association (JSA)-- has normally released at least one, (sometimes with an additional 2, or even 3 updated decks) of these sumo trump playing card decks per year. These trump decks were sold at the Ryōgoku Kokugikan (Sumo Arena) in Tokyo. As my interest in sumo did not begin until the late 90's, I decided to concentrate on decks which contained sumo wrestlers I was familiar with---with the goal to collect all of the decks issued from 1989 (the beginning of the Reiwa Era) forward. The decks themselves roughly approximate the Banzuke (Sumo rankings chart) of the month/year they were produced. The King cards are comprised of the highest rankers (the Ozeki and Yokozuna), while the Junior Sanyaku ranks (Sekiwake and Komusubi) as well as some of the top Maegashira ranks occupy the remainder of the "face" cards. The lower ranked Maegashira and even some top Juryo (2nd division) wrestlers fill out the rest of the numerical cards in the deck, in descending order (the higher the rank, the higher the card number). The Gyoji (referee) usually is depicted as the Joker card in the deck. Long time sumo wrestlers may have only a few different photos used on the cards over their careers..as it is not uncommon for the same photo of a rikishi to be reused in subsequent decks. I have included scans of the top 9 cards in each deck which largely distinguish it from other year's Trump decks. "Orange" sided cardboard boxes, with sumo artwork on the front (as well as the backs), are used to house current Trump issues beginning in 2008 (barcodes were added to the backs beginning in 2020). Previously the same box, but with "green" sides was used from 2002-2007. Going back further; completely Green boxes (front/back) were used from 1991-3 to 2001, while Orange (front/w/light green back) boxes were used from 1989 to 1991-2. From 1985-1 to 1986-2 they used green boxes with a little window. And prior to 1985 they used white boxes.....images of the boxes that came with my decks appear at the bottom of the page. |

Pro Wrestling Trading Card Collection My collection of Professional Wrestling trading card sets ranging from the 50's through the present. I have selected the most valuable, or attractive cards in a given set to represent it. On a few of the smaller sets, I have included all of the cards in the scan. My top 5 favorites are the 1985 Topps (Test) WWF 3-D, 1986 Carnation, 1984-89 LJN, 1988-2007 Ice Cream and the 2005 Heritage autograph sets. I have included my wrestling autographed insert cards at the bottom of the page (my favorites are the extremely limited 2016 Dusty Rhodes and Roddy Piper autographs (limited to only 10 of each) released after their untimely deaths the previous year). None are for sale, the values assigned are for my heirs. Email is supplex55@yahoo.com |

1960's-80's Boyd Pierce wrestling photos This album contains my "Boyd Pierce" wrestling photo cards dating from the 1960's through the early 1980's. The photo cards are approximately 3.5x5 (postcard size) with a matte finish and were sold by Boyd Pierce at gimmick tables, as well as through ads in Wrestling Magazines. Pierce is perhaps best known as an announcer on Mid-South Wrestling TV shows. There may be as many (or even more) than 1000 different of these that were created over the 20 odd years they were produced. Most photo cards--that are in good condition--average about $5-$10 each, with more popular stars like Andre, Piper, Dusty and Bruno going for (much, in some cases) more. There is no known checklist, and my photo cards are listed here in alphabetical order. |

Supplex55 Wrestling Territories Album This album contains photos from various regional wrestling territories including the classic Vincent J. McMahon owned World Wide Wrestling Federation. WWWF photos range from 1963 to 1982 when the elder McMahon sold the Northeast based territory to his son Vincent K. McMahon. The WWWF was rebranded as the WWF in 1980. These photos are often called "Arena Promos" as many were sold at live event concession stands/"gimmick" tables, while others were available through Wrestling magazines. Also included are photos from territories where the NWA Champion would defend his title, such as the WCCW, Mid-South, Mid-Atlantic, Memphis and Florida amongst others. Additionally, included are promos from the Verne Gagne owned Midwest territory:the AWA. Most of these photos date from the 1950's thru the late 1980's when the NWA was rebranded as the WCW, and the AWA (and most other "territories" as well) had folded. As many of the photos have no identifying logos or copyrights, descriptions contain my best guess of the territory and year the photo was issued in. Also included are a handful of more recent photos of "Territories Stars" which were produced by Wrestling Conventions for autograph opportunities (these are tagged as "modern", rather than "vintage"). My vintage Ladies Wrestling/GLOW/POWW section is added after the male stars in the album. My WWF and WCW promos have their own dedicated albums on this site. Over 50 in this album are signed, including Hogan, Savage, Hennig, Rude, Race, Rhodes, Sensational Sherri and Ventura. My contact email is supplex55@yahoo.com |

Supplex55 WWF unnumbered promos 1983-93 Supplex55 WWF Promo Photos:Unnumbered My collection of unnumbered WWF Promotional photos, featuring the WWF logo on the bottom left of the photo, began in 1983 (these do not carry a copyright date) and ran through 1993, with just a handful afterward. This album contains photos largely from the Classic 1980's Era, as b/w WWF promos began to be P-numbered in 1990, with color promos following in 1992. By 1993, almost all WWF promo photos (both Color and B/W) were issued in the P-numbered series until it's demise in 2008. Pre-1989 b/w photos generally have a "newspaper use only" notation at the bottom as that was their intended purpose. Color unnumbered WWF promo photos date from 1984-1992 (with a handful afterward) as by 1992 they had largely been transferred to the P-series. 1984 color promos are 8x10 while the majority of the later color photos are slightly larger at 8.25x11. Color promos, which i list first for each year, were used for promotional purposes such as signings, appearances, correspondences, or were sold directly through the WWF Magazine. I have also included WWF TV Network/PPV promos for yearbook purposes--at the end of each individual year's listings. Over 100 on this page have been signed--including Hogan, Savage, Undertaker, Piper, Hart Foundation, Demolition,The Rockers, Iron Sheik, Sgt. Slaughter, Fabulous Moolah and Ultimate Warrior. There are also signed promos from WWF Announcers: Jesse Ventura, Vince McMahon, Gorilla Monsoon, Bobby Heenan, Ken Resnick, Sean Mooney, Lord Alfred Hayes and Gene Okerlund... Approximate prices attached are just my best guesses as to their value in the interests of giving my heir some idea of their worth. If you have original vintage promos from the 1980'a through the early 1990's era (my favorite time in "our great sport") available for sale, please contact me at supplex55@yahoo.com. The photos on this page are NOT for sale, photos for sale are on this page: https://imageevent.com/supplex55/wwfwwepromosforsaletrade |

Supplex55 WWF Promos:P-Numbers 1990-2008 Old School P-series WWF/WWE promo photos 1990-2008. In 1990 the WWF began numbering their b/w promotional photos with a P-number on the right margin. Very few b/w photos produced after 1989 do not have a P-number. They began including color photos in 1992 and by 1993 virtually all WWF promo photos had a P-number. Discontinued in 2008, the P-Series is the most collected (and valuable) of all wrestling photos-some of the rarer photos of top stars have sold for hundreds of dollars in the past. Approximate prices attached are just my best guesses as to their value in the interests of giving my heir an idea of their worth. Over 150 on this page have been signed, including Hogan, Undertaker, Austin, Rock, Flair and Ultimate Warrior. If you have any that I do not have (P001 through P756--I am concentrating on pre-WWE promos), please contact me at supplex55@yahoo.com and I will make you an offer. |

Supplex55 WWE Current Promo Album 2008-- This Album contains my current WWE issued unnumbered Promotional Photos produced following the end of the P-Series in 2008. Approximately 50 have been signed, including Cena, Bryan, Punk, AJ, Trish, Angle, Reigns, Triple H, Charlotte and Ric Flair, Sting, Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan. I have largely stopped collecting newer promos due to a lack of interest in the current product. |

Supplex55 WCW/JCP/NWA Promo Photo Album This album contains promo photos issued by Jim Crockett Promotions (JCP) from 1985-1988 following Crockett's buying out of Ole Anderson's Georgia Championship Wrestling in 1985, unifying the NWA brand. Also included is its successor- World Championship Wrestling (WCW)- which began in November 1988, following it's purchase and rebranding by Ted Turner/TBS from JCP. WCW would run from 1988-2001, ending with its purchase by the WWF in 2001. 1985-1988 JCP promos come in several sizes and have no identifying text/copyrights. WCW Promos from 1989-90 (and a few from 1991) do not have a copyright date (some do not even have the WCW logo), as that information does not begin appearing on the photos until 1991. In addition, white background/color 8.5x11 photos were issued by the company in WCW folders from 1989-91 at events like the "Bruise Cruise". Another oddity is that most WCW promos prior to 1991 were 5x7 or 5x8 rather than the traditional 8x10 size (all on this page are 8x10 unless otherwise noted). While WCW promos do not command the same prices that vintage WWF promos do (there are fewer hardcore collectors), they are every bit as tough to locate-perhaps even more so-than the more popular federation. Over 75 of these are signed, including all of the "Big Boys": Hulk, Flair, Steamboat, Savage, Dusty, Sting, Luger, Rude, Vader, Austin, Cactus, Hennig, Nash, Pillman, Road Warriors, etc.... If you have older 1985-1994 NWA/WCW-era promos available (I prefer the pre-Hogan/NWO era of WCW), please contact me at supplex55@yahoo.com. |

Supplex55 WWF/WCW Licensed Photo Album This album contains licensed photos produced by Photo File (and similar companies) that are made available for sale in mass produced quantities through conventional outlets (websites, stores, vendors, etc.). They differ from promo photos as those were printed "in-house" by the issuing Wrestling Organization (in limited amounts, often not available to the public other than through promotional appearances, or live-event promoters). It also contains photos that are produced by Wrestling Organizations (or wrestlers) in conjunction with their various marketing partners. They include photos that advertise wrestling-related products like Toys, Foods, Games, Records, Conventions, Movies and TV Networks. Approximately 25 have been signed, including Savage, Elizabeth, Eddy Guerrero,Cena, Sable, Sunny, Trish and Torrie. |

WWF Arena Program Collection 1983-1998 This is my collection of WWF-issued Arena Programs sold at live events throughout the country during the Classic and New Generation eras of the company (1983-1998). Numbered #101-245, they were issued approximately 1 per month (bi-monthly from 1994 on) and included a paper insert with the wrestling card for the venue that it was sold at. The WWF discontinued the unique programs following the 1998 Wrestlemania, and began to just reissue that month's WWF Magazine issue with the insert sheets at venues and PPVs. At the bottom of the page are my Pay-per-view programs (Wrestlemania, Royal Rumble, SummerSlam and Survivor Series) through the end of the WWF in 2002. If you have any of the programs I am missing (listed at the bottom of the page) please contact me at supplex55@yahoo.com |

WWF Magazine Collection 1983-1992 Here is my collection of classic WWF Magazines from the First Issue of WWF Victory Magazine (which ran for 2 issues in 1983) to the renaming of the title as the WWF Magazine. The titles run from the emergence of Hulk Hogan in 1984 to the close of the Classic WWF era in 1992 with his departure and the rise of the New Generation. Also included are other Classic WWF Publications:WWF Superstars Annuals, Wrestling Spotlight, and WWF Official Biographies. I have also put up pics of the classic WWF Arena and PPV Programs on a separate Imageevent page--ENJOY! |

Altogether I have 66 of the solo Superstars, the British Bulldogs tag team box and the 2 16" Large Hulk Hogan and Roddy Piper dolls.

1951-52 Parkhurst NHL Hockey Set This album contains my set of 1951-52 Parkhurst Hockey cards. I acquired the set at the 1985 National Sports Collector's Convention in Anaheim at the Disneyland Hotel from the original owner (a collector from Montreal). As I recall, I paid about 550.00 for the set and could not have been happier. Notably, the set features the first cards of Rocket Richard and Gordie Howe. I would grade it as about EX (with some better and a few worse, though none less than VG). |

1952-53 Parkhurst NHL Hockey set I also purchased this set at the same time as my 1951-52 Parkie set from the gentleman from Montreal at the Anaheim National Sports Collectors Convention in 1985. It is in a bit lesser condition due to being stored in a Parkhurst Album and would grade about VG or maybe a bit better. Some are autographed by players who visited the Forum and signed for the original owner. Set features the Rookie Cards of Tim Horton, George Armstrong and Dickie Moore. |

1954-55 Parkhurst NHL Hockey set The main rookie in 1954-55 Parkhurst Hockey is Johnny Bower, whose name is incorrectly spelled on the back. Since this was never corrected, there is no added value to the error. In the action subset, several cards of Jacques Plante are featured, which predate his official rookie card by one year. My set runs a solid Ex+ with many better. |

1955-56 Parkhurst NHL Hockey set The 1955-56 Parkhurst Hockey set was cut to 79 cards and only features players from the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadiens. Old-time Greats from both teams are included in the set. The key rookie in the set is Jacques Plante, even though he had already appeared on several action cards the previous year. Oddly, his photo features a rink background (other cards feature just a white background), is vertically oriented and is missing a team logo. My set grades at an average of Ex with a few VG and few a grade or two higher. |

1957-58 Parkhurst NHL Hockey set I purchased this set in the mid-80's from the same gentleman from Montreal that I bought the 1951-52 Parkhurst set from. He (as a kid) was able to obtain a few autographs from the players when he attended games at the Forum. The set is unusual in that both the Leafs and Habs cards are numbered separately 1-25, rather than collectively 1-50. The set also features the rookie cards of Hall of Famers Frank Mahovlich and Henri Richard. This set is also a return to hockey cards after a one-year layoff from Parkhurst, supposedly to assess the hockey card market. The U.S. NHL teams would be featured on Topps Hockey cards only for the rest of the decade. 5 of the cards are signed--with 3 of them by Hockey Hall of Famers: Toe Blake, Dick Duff and George Armstrong. I would grade this set about EX/MT on average with a few higher, and none lower than EX. |

1961-62 Parkhurst NHL Hockey set There are 51 cards in the complete 1961-62 Parkhurst Hockey set. The checklist is broken down among three of the NHL's teams: the Toronto Maple Leafs appear on cards 1 through 18, the Detroit Red Wings are on cards 19 through 34 and the Montreal Canadiens take up the rest of the set. Unlike previous Parkhurst sets, there are no coaches, action cards or specialty subsets. Parkhurst again re-uses many of the photos from the previous year. The only notable rookie in 1961-62 Parkhurst Hockey is Dave Keon. My set is a solid NM. |

1962-63 Parkhurst NHL Hockey set While the 62-63 set has an inspired design, it once again re-uses photos from previous sets. There are 18 cards for each of the 3 Teams (Toronto, Montreal and Detroit) featured with each team's star having two cards (Mahovlich, Geoffrion and Howe). There are also two unnumbered cards:one card is a checklist, which is referred to as a Tally card. The other is a Zip card, which was a contest entry for one of 20 bicycles. These are quite rare and are (along with the 2 Howe cards) the most valuable in the set. My set grades about EX/MT with a few better (NM+) and a few which would grade EX. |

1963-64 Parkhurst NHL Hockey set For its final set, 1963-64 Parkhurst featured one of the most beautiful designs ever on a hockey card set. The Gordie Howe card is considered one of the most iconic cards ever produced. There was an emphasis given to the two Canadian teams, with two cards for nearly every player. The fronts featured a player picture superimposed against a team-specific background design. Detroit Red Wings were shown with an American flag in the background, regardless of that player's actual birth nation. Toronto Maple Leafs were placed in front on the Red Ensign that served as the national flag at the time. Montreal Canadiens weren't given any flag, instead they had parallel bars as a background. Key rookies in the 99-card set include Cesare Maniago, Red Berenson, Alex Faulkner, John Ferguson and Jacques LaPerriere. My set grades about Ex/MT with a few NM and a few EX. |

1954-55 Topps NHL Hockey set I bought this set in the mid-80's from "Mr. Mint" Alan Rosen and could not have dreamed of finding one in better condition (due to the colored bottom borders, the 1954-55 Topps set is particularly tough to find in high grade). I would grade this set as Ex/Mt or better. This would be Topps' first Hockey set and featured only the 4 American teams as the 1954-55 Parkhurst set housed the 2 Canadian teams that year (and for the rest of the decade). Topps would return to hockey cards in 1957-58 after skipping the next two seasons. |

1957-58 Topps NHL Hockey set Topps returned to Hockey after a three year hiatus with a set of 66 cards featuring the four U.S. based teams (Parkhurst distributed the two Canadian teams). This set is highlighted by the Rookie Cards of Hall of Famers John Bucyk, Norm Ullman, Glenn Hall and Pierre Pilote. My set is a solid Ex, approaching Ex/Mt. |

Scattered throughout the set are six action cards. Featured are the second Bobby Hull card and Gordie Howe's last Topps card until 1964-65 (He and the Red Wings would move to the Parkhurst brand for the next 4 years). The set features no key rookie cards, but does have 16 HHOFers. My set is a solid EX/MT to NM with the usual top to bottom centering issues for this year. |

The "All Time Greats" cards were added to the set to make up for the loss of the Detroit Red Wings to their Canadian rival Parkhurst's 1960-61 hockey set (which already featured the Leafs and Canadiens). This set's key Rookie card is Stan Mikita. My set grades from EX/MT to NM (with a few better and a few worse). |

The Boston Bruins have cards #1-22, the Chicago Blackhawks are on cards #23-44 and the New York Rangers appear on cards #45-65. The last card of the set is a checklist, which is the first time one was included in a Topps hockey set. Key cards are the Rookies of Rangers greats Jean Ratelle and Rod Gilbert (along with the unmarked checklist). My Set grades a solid NM (with one less at EX). |

1964-65 Topps NHL Hockey set The "Tall Boys" Hockey set is my personal favorite of all time. Raw set grades about Ex/Mt (some better) with only #59 grading VG. There are 11 challenging short-printed cards in each of the 1rst Series (1-55) and the tougher 2nd Series (56-110).

1965-66 Topps NHL Hockey set Cards 122-128 feature team photos, and along Gordie Howe 600 Goals card, and may have been included as a last-minute addition because they are not included on the second checklist card and are considered to be short prints. Notable rookies include Phil Esposito, Dennis Hull, Gerry Cheevers, Yvan Cournoyer, Ed Giacomin, Paul Henderson and Ken Hodge. My set grades EX/MT with centering an issue on several cards (not uncommon for this issue). |

1966-67 Topps NHL Hockey set Using a similar Design to the 1966 Topps AFL Football design, the 1966-67 Topps NHL set's key card is the rookie card of Bobby Orr, one of the iconic cards of the hockey collecting hobby. Other notable rookies are Emile Francis, Harry Sinden and Peter Mahovlich. My set runs about EX/MT, with the Orr card in a little lesser shape at about VG/EX to EX. |

1968-69 O Pee Chee Hockey set 1968-69 O-Pee-Chee Hockey saw the company issue its own separate set in Canada, rather than producing and distributing their cards under the Topps name. From this point forward, the sets would be differentiated between the two countries with O-Pee-Chee's being larger and having more subset and specialty cards than the Topps version (though many player photos were identical). Also, because they were printed in Canada, the backs would be written in two languages while Topps' cards would carry English-only text. The rookie card of Bernie Parent appears in this set. Set grades about EX/MT with the usual problematic centering issues for this set(particularly in the first series--#1-132).Second series cards (#133-216)boasted a bonus All-Star Pushout 22 card insert set (sometimes referred to as a Puck Sticker). A card paying tribute to Gordie Howe's 700th goal is also included in the puck sticker set. I have included my Puck Sticker set after the Regular issue set below. I also have the complete 1968-69 Topps NHL Hockey set in Near Mint condition and have included a scan of the Topps Bobby Orr to represent that set. |

1969-70 O Pee Chee Hockey set My 1969-70 O Pee Chee set is a tale of two Series---Series 1 is about EX with many better and a few worse, while Series 2 is a solid NM. Five of my series 1 cards (Beliveau, Orr, Gilbert, Parent and Berenson) have their stamps attached on the reverse. In addition I have both insert sets displayed at the bottom of the page--the 4 in 1 cards, and the Player Stamps. The only notable rookies in the set are Tony Esposito and Serge Savard. I also have the complete 1969-70 Topps NHL Hockey set in Near Mint condition and have included a scan of the Topps Bobby Orr at the bottom of the page to represent that set. |

1972-73 O Pee Chee Hockey set The 1972-73 O Pee Chee NHL/WHA Hockey set's first series runs from cards 1 through 110 and the second includes 111 through 209. Each of these series is relatively plentiful, while series three contains cards 210 through 289 and is slightly scarcer. The fourth series runs from cards 290 through 340 featuring players from the newly-formed WHA and was printed in much smaller quantities than the rest of the set. Checklist #334 has two variations--one showing the final late additions to the WHA and the other only noting their inclusion w/o their names listed. My set runs a solid Ex/MT with most NM. I have included the two insert sets at the bottom of the page--Team Canada and NHL Player Crests. Finally, a scan of Bobby Orr's Topps card represents my NM Topps NHL Hockey set from the same year. |

1973 Hockey Card Sets to date Here are the remainder of my more recent WHA/NHL trading card sets dating from 1973-74 forward. I have posted 7 scans of the top cards from my older 1973-74 to 1988-89 Topps/O Pee Chee sets. My vintage Hockey sets (dating back to 1951-52 Parkhurst through 1972-73) each have their own page with complete scans of all cards in each set. None are for sale, but it is my hope that other collectors will enjoy the peek at my collection. |

NHL Team Issue Postcard/SGA card sets This is my collection of various team promotional (SGA-Stadium give away) card sets as well as team issued postcard/card sets. Largely composed of teams I have enjoyed watching over the years--particularly my childhood favorite Boston Bruins, home state Ducks (and Sharks & Kings) and the great Oilers, Canadiens, Avalanche and Penguins Dynasties. I find these tough regional sets so much more interesting than the sets produced for large scale distribution (in Canada and the USA).

1948 Bowman/Leaf NFL Football set(s) The 1948 Bowman Football card set consists of 108 total cards measuring 2-1/16 by 2-1/2 inches. The product boasts key rookie cards of multiple Hall of Fame players, including Steve Van Buren (#7), Sammy Baugh (#22), Bob Waterfield (#26) Bulldog Turner (#36), Pete Pihos (#63) and Sid Luckman (#107). It was printed on three 36-card printing sheets. The card sheets were printed by every third number, whereas sheet one had cards #1, 4, 7, 10, and so on. Sheet two featured cards #2, 5, 8, 11, and sheet three has all the cards divisible by three (#3,6,9,12). The cards from the third sheet are the rarest, with the second sheet being slightly harder to complete than the first. My raw set is a solid Ex+ with a few better and a few VG. Included after the 1948 Bowman set is my raw 1948 Leaf Football First Series #1-49 in VG/Ex condition on average. |

1950 Bowman NFL Football set Bowman decided not to issue a football set in 1949 as part of an agreement that allowed Leaf to have a monopoly on the market before leaving. As a result, they took over in 1950 as the dominant company when it came to featuring stars of the gridiron. Otto Graham, Y.A. Tittle, Lou Groza, Tony Canadeo, Elroy Crazylegs Hirsch, Joe Perry and Marion Motley are some of the big-name players showing up on their first cards in this attractive and popular set. My raw set would grade about VG with some a grade or two higher. |

1952 Bowman (Small) NFL Football set The 1952 Bowman Small set (cards are 2 1/16" by 3 1/8") is identical to the large set (2½" by 3¾") with the exception of size. The 1952 Bowman Small Football Card set also does not have the expensive short-printed cards, contained in the Large set, making it much more affordable to complete. The Rookie Cards from this set include #14 Paul Brown, #16 Frank Gifford, #23 Gino Marchetti, #29 Hugh McElhenny, #48 George Halas, #85 Andy Robustelli, #127 Ollie Matson and #140 Yale Lary. My raw Small set is about VG/EX with many in the EX range. I have included my 23 1952 Large singles at the bottom of the page. I had picked them up in a vain attempt to try a complete that set as well many years ago. |

1953 Bowman NFL Football set Overall, there are about eight times as many 1953 Bowman baseball cards available as there are football, and what survives is quite rare in high grade. Reportedly, there are 24 cards that are listed as short prints, including cards of Emlen Tunnell, Lou Groza and Frank Gifford. My raw set is a solid Ex/Mt, with many better, and a handful about Ex. |

1954 Bowman NFL Football set After cutting back on the size of its 1953 set, Bowman increased its 1954 set to 128 cards. The set was broken down over four 32-card printing sheets with the short-printed third sheet, containing cards 65-96, proving much tougher to locate than the rest of the set. The big rookies in the set include George Blanda and Doug Atkins. My raw set likely would grade an average of Ex+. |

1955 Bowman NFL Football set The 1955 Bowman Football Card Set includes 160 vintage size cards, with the high numbered cards (65-160) slightly more difficult to find. These were the last sports cards issued by the Bowman Gum Co. before being purchased by Topps, and was the largest of the eight sets produced by the company. The most valuable card is of #152 Tom Landry. Cards #161-163 are custom cards of Otto Graham and John Unitas who did not have cards in the regular set. My raw set would grade Ex/Mt on average with a few better. |

1956 Topps NFL Football set 1956 Topps Football is the company's first officially licensed NFL trading card product. This came as a result of the acquisition of their long-time competitor Bowman. This inaugural release was the start of an annual issue of Topps NFL football cards that continues today. It was printed in a single series of 120, though all the players (and team cards) from the Washington Redskins and Chicago Cardinals were short-printed, and are considered scarce as they were printed in much smaller quantities than other cards in the set. There is also an unnumbered checklist, as well as 5 contest cards that were included in packs (I have the checklist card). I also added 3 customs of Otto Graham, Bart Starr and John Unitas at the bottom of the page. My raw set would grade about Ex/Mt to Nm. |

1957 Topps NFL Football set The 1957 Topps Football card set is incredibly popular with collectors due to the fact that it is loaded with stars and rookies of future Hall of Fame players. Of the 154 total cards, 31 of the players on the checklist have been inducted into the Professional Football Hall of Fame. Key 1957 Topps Football rookie cards are Bart Starr (#119), Johnny Unitas (#138) and Paul Hornung (#151). Other major players appearing for the first time include Dick "Night Train" Lane (#85), Tommy McDonald (#124), Raymond Berry (#94) and Earl Morrall (#104). Missing from the set are a handful of future Hall of Famers, most notably Len Dawson and Jim Brown (though I have included a custom card of Brown at the bottom of the page). Printed in two separate series, the first contains 88 cards, with the second series having 66. It is said that 22 cards in the second series were double-printed to fill out the printing page, one of those cards, number 138, is the rookie card of Johnny Unitas. Generally, high-number cards are a little harder to find than low numbers and, therefore, command a slight premium. My raw set would grade about Ex/MT or so. |

1959 Bazooka/1969 Eskimo Pie AFL FB Sets One of the rarest and most beautiful Football sets ever produced, the 1959 Bazooka set took me almost 20 years to build. There is a Conerly variation which shows him as a Baltimore Colt as well, but I am happy to call this one complete without it. Most agree that the Tracy and Groza (the last one i picked up to complete my set) cards are the toughest to find. Also included is my near set (12/15) of the rare 1969 Eskimo Pie AFL cards. |

1959 Topps NFL Football set The 1959 Topps Football set was printed in two, 88-card series. In a change from the usual series format, cards from the first series are slightly more scarce and more valuable than cards from the second as the result of being printed in a smaller quantity. The backs of the cards have a scratch-off trivia question that has part of the answer image visible. Card backs that have had been subjected to the edge of a coin are, obviously, less valuable than those that haven't. Set features the uncorrected Jim Taylor rookie card (wrong photo). My raw set would grade at least Ex/Mt on average. |

1960 Topps NFL Football set The 1960 Topps Football card set has no scarce cards as all were printed in equal amounts. Also, the card stock holds up well, making it easier to build a set in EX or better. It was issued as a single series despite the checklists calling them the first and second series. The only rookie card of note is that of Forrest Gregg (#56). However, what the set lacks in rookie cards it makes up for in star appeal with hobby heavyweights like Jim Brown (#23), Bart Starr (#51) and Johnny Unitas (#1) anchoring the set. Other future Hall of Fame players in the set include Paul Hornung (#54), Frank Gifford (#74), Bobby Layne (#93) and Y.A. Tittle (#113). The set also has the distinction of being the first to showcase cards of the Dallas Cowboys. My raw set grades about Ex+, with many in Ex/Mt or better. |

1961 Topps NFL/AFL Football set 1961 Topps Football was released in two series. NFL teams comprised card numbers 1-132, while AFL players were printed in the second series with card numbers 133-197. The AFL players are slightly more difficult to find and star players do command a slight premium, particularly card #166, belonging to Jack Kemp.The set also contains key rookies of Don Maynard (#150), Jim Otto (#182), Tom Flores (#186), John Brodie (#59) and Henry Jordan (#45). Other rookies include Boyd Dowler (#43), Johnny Robinson (#139), Art Powell (#151) and Lionel Taylor (#190). Common condition issues impacting the 1961 Topps Football card set include chipping on the blue-border on the back of the cards, as well as bleed-through to the fronts of cards stored next to them in stacks/boxes. My raw set would grade Ex/MT on average with a few better. |

1961-1964 Kahn's Weiners FB card sets This gallery contains scans of my Kahn's Weiners Football sets. I obtained the 1961-1964 sets from Larry Fritsch in 1980 for $400-500 per set. Larry had put together uncirculated sets with cards that were not pulled from the Kahn's meat packaging (and, therefore, did not have the stains and creases found on many vintage Kahn's issues). As the company was based in the mid-west, the Browns and Steelers are heavily represented- particularly in the earlier sets. Though I do not have the first two sets that Kahn's issued in 1959 and 1960, I was able to find the Jim Brown from 1959 and Willie Davis from 1960 to serve as "type" cards for each. |

1961 Lake To Lake Green Bay Packers set 1961 Lake to Lake Packers cards were distributed with products from Wisconsin's Lake to Lake Dairy. There are 36 cards in the set: 16 that are plentiful, and 20 short prints that are difficult to find. Estimates are the the common cards outnumber the difficult ones about 10 to 1. The Lake to Lake set includes several pre-rookie cards of Hall of Fame players, including Ray Nitschke. My set grades about EX/MT and was acquired in 1980 from long-time collector John Spalding who had given up on finding two missing cards (#1,36), which i was able to locate much later. Amazingly, 12 of the 36 players featured in the set are now members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame! |

1962 Topps NFL Football set After one year of featuring players from both the NFL and the upstart AFL, Topps returned to the practice of featuring only NFL players. The key rookies in the set are Ernie Davis (#36), Fran Tarkenton (#90) and Mike Ditka (#17). Other rookies include, Roman Gabriel (#88), Alex Hawkins (#3), Don Perkins (#41), Fuzzy Thurston (#69), Tommy Mason (#94), Billy Kilmer (#151) and Norm Snead (#164). A number of the cards were short-printed throughout the set. It is estimated that between 70 and 88 cards in total are short-prints. As a result, assembling the set, in any condition, can be a challenge. Some of the bigger names falling into the short-printed category are Hall of Famers, Raymond Berry (#5), Bart Starr (#63), Paul Hornung (#64). The black borders of the 1962 Topps Football cards are susceptible to chipping and centering is also a common problem with the set. My raw set is in a solid Ex/Mt or better. |

1962 Post Cereal NFL Football set I obtained this set from Larry Fritsch in 1980 (minus 5 cards) as this was a second high grade set he had personally assembled at the same time as his own set. I believe i paid about $400 or so for it (the guide had it for $125 at the time)--but I knew I would never again find such a beautiful (near) set of this classic food issue. In case you are wondering, it was lacking 2 SP's out of the 5 missing cards--#139 and 193. Notable rookies in the set include Fran Tarkenton and Mike Ditka. Bob Lilly, Gene Hickerson, Larry Wilson and Jim Johnson have cards that pre-date their first Topps or Philadelphia cards. The 40-some short printed cards are extremely challenging in any grade, and a few tough ones (#74,93 and 110)can bring very large sums. I have included my 1960 Post Cereal NFL large cards at the bottom of the page. |

1963 Topps NFL Football set The set features the rookie cards of legendary greats Ray Nitschke (#96), Willie Wood (#95), Deacon Jones (#44) and Bob Lilly (#82). 5 entire teams are short-printed: the Browns, Cowboys, Giants, Steelers and Redskins, with a total of 75 short-prints in the set. Certain cards, particularly those found on the left-hand side of the printing sheet, are also prone to centering issues as a result of being mis-cut. My raw set grades about Ex/Mt. |

Others are Tommy Nobis (No. 7), Leroy Kelly (No. 43), Lee Roy Jordan (No. 54), Dan Reeves (No. 58), and Jackie Smith (No. 165). My set grades much as the other 3 Philadelphia Football issues---about Ex/MT with some better. |

1960 Fleer AFL Football set 1960 was the first year of the American Football League, and the Fleer Gum Company jumped into the business of making football cards the same year. Thus began a four-year run of featuring AFL players on Fleer cards. One of the problems collectors find with the 1960 Fleer set is the fact that so many cards are found off-centered. The key card in the set is Jack Kemp's rookie card. Other important first-timers include Ron Mix, Billy Cannon, Paul Maguire and coaches Sid Gillman and Hank Stram. My raw set would grade Ex/MT with the usual rough cut and centering issues on many cards. |

Cards #1-132 featured players from the NFL, while cards #133-220 included AFL stars. The rookie cards issued in 1961 Fleer included Hall of Famers Jim Otto and Don Maynard. John Brodie, Tom Flores, and Don Meredith also have rookie cards in this issue. My raw set would grade between Ex/Mt and NM/Mt for the vast majority of the cards. |

1962 Fleer AFL Football set For 1962, Fleer returned to featuring only players from the AFL after a year where both leagues were included in its set. At the same time, the company cut back to a smaller set size of 88 cards and scaled back its production. The 88 cards were issued in a single series and are plagued with centering issues, which makes collecting them frustrating for condition-conscious collectors. Key rookies include Billy Shaw, Fred Williamson, Gino Cappeletti, Ernie Ladd and Charlie Hennigan. My raw set has the afore-mentioned "centering issues" rife throughout, and can be considered about Ex+ as a result. |

1963 Fleer AFL Football set This set boasts the cardboard debuts of three Hall of Fame players – Nick Buoniconti, Len Dawson and Lance Alworth. There are two documented, short-printed player cards, #6 Charles Long and #64 Bob Dougherty, as well as an unnumbered checklist, which is typically the most difficult card to find in nice condition. This is the last of the 4 Fleer AFL football sets, as Topps would produce them for the remainder of the league's existence. My raw set would grade (mostly) NM. |

1964 Topps AFL Football set 1964 Topps Football was the first in a four-year run where the company lost the rights to produce licensed NFL trading cards to their rival company, Philadelphia Gum. Undaunted, the company secured the rights to manufacture trading cards of players from the upstart AFL after Fleer stopped making sports cards following its final Football card release in 1963. The 1964 Topps Football card set is plagued by mis-cuts and poor centering. Finding cards absent of these flaws can be a challenge and do command a premium. Additionally, 88 of the 176 card set are single printed, with the rest double printed, making set building more challenging. My raw set is a solid NM+ or better, with many having the afore-mentioned poor centering, or mis-cut. The Joe Namath pre-rookie card is custom made by Retrocards and available from their site. |

1965 Topps AFL Football set My raw set of one of the most iconic Football sets Topps ever produced:The 1965 AFL "Tall Boys". Set grades about Ex/Mt (or better) with the usual centering issues on many of the cards and is highlighted by Joe Namath's Rookie Card (#122). In addition to the Namath, other Hall of Fame rookies include Willie Brown (#46) and Fred Biletnikoff (#133). I bought my set at a card show in Sacramento in 1980 for $50. |

1966 Topps AFL Football set Due to the brown borders, the cards show edge and corner wear very easily. As a result, cards from the set are hard to find in top condition. As always, the checklists are tougher to find unmarked, but the Funny Rings checklist (#15) can be nearly impossible to find in any condition because many kids in 1966 simply tossed it away--likely because it had the appearance of a non-football card. My raw set grades about Ex to Ex/Mt for most. |

1967 Topps AFL Football set The set is anchored by veterans and future Hall of Fame players, including Joe Namath (#98), Jack Kemp (#24), Len Dawson (#61), Fred Biletnikoff (#106), and Lance Alworth (#123). Unfortunately, there are no noteworthy rookie cards in the set other than Wahoo McDaniel (#82). Despite not achieving great success on the gridiron, McDaniel did gain fame as a professional wrestler. My set--the last AFL-only set--would grade at about Nm/Mt. |

1968 Topps AFL/NFL Football set The 1968 Topps Football card set was the first release in seven years to include players from both the AFL and NFL. It would be the first of 21 consecutive years in which Topps was the exclusive licensee for professional football cards. To accommodate the additional players, the set was expanded to 219 cards. It was printed in two series: the first series includes cards #1-131, while the second series is comprised of cards #132-219. My set grades about NM to Ex/Mt with some better and a few about EX. |

1969 Topps AFL/NFL Football set One of the most colorful sets ever produced by Topps--the full-bleed 1rst series (#1-132) especially--just "pops" (2nd series cards #133-263 added a white border and the color backgrounds are a bit "muted" compared to the initial series)! This was also the first sports set I ever collected, as I bought a 2nd Series box in late 1969 and traded with a neighbor to complete the 1rst series I had missed. It would be the last Topps Football card release before the merger of the AFL and NFL, and interestingly, Topps seemed to favor the NFL over the younger AFL: NFL teams generally had 12 cards, while AFL teams averaged about 8 per team. My raw set would grade at least NM on the vast majority of the cards. |

Supplex55 NFL Football sets: 1970-date Here is my collection of modern football sets (beginning with the NFL/AFL merger in 1970). I chose six cards from each set to represent the average condition and notable players and rookies from the 1970-1988 Topps Football issues. Post-1988 sets are represented by a single scan of a key card(s) from that particular issue. This album also contains my miscellaneous Football sets from the 60's to date; including team issues, regional, food issues, advertising cards, post 1970 Topps insert sets as well as other national, non-Topps, issues beginning with 1989. |

1980's SHOWTIME Los Angeles Lakers This album contains my trading cards chronicling the most entertaining basketball team of all time--the Showtime Los Angeles Lakers of the 1980's. Included in this collection are my rare Star Company Lakers sets issued from 1983-84 to 1985-86, in addition to regional sets, and Topps/Fleer cards. With the arrival of Magic Johnson in the 1979-80 season to team with 6 time MVP Kareem Abdul Jabbar, the Lakers would win 5 Championships and appear in 8 finals in the next 10 years. Magic would win 3 MVP awards of his own and his artistry and unselfishness would propel the team (and the NBA) to new heights. Other key contributors were: Hall of Famers James Worthy (1988 Finals MVP) and Jamaal Wilkes along with defensive ace Michael Cooper, Norm Nixon and Byron Scott. Though Basketball is not my favorite sport (that would be Ice Hockey), no athlete ever gave me more thrills and enjoyment than Magic did. Also included are my 1970's Topps Lakers' team sets. |

1950-60s Exhibit TV Cowboys card album It is unknown just how many cards comprise a complete 1950-60's TV Cowboys Exhibit Supply Company set. I have a pic of a checklist for the set that appeared in the Sports Collector's Digest in the 1980's that lists 76 cards, though I believe it to be incomplete as I found a few more not listed as well as a few errors. This particular set is differentiated from other Cowboy Exhibit sets by "Printed in the USA" appearing at the bottoms of the cards, rather than "Made in the USA", which appeared on earlier Exhibit Western card issues. I have noticed that some have "salutations", while most do not; whether this places them in a different Exhibit set is unknown to me. Any information anyone can add to this issue would be appreciated---please contact me at supplex55@yahoo.com I have included scans of my 1940's "Made in USA" John Wayne Exhibit cards at the bottom of the page. Approx. value: $500 |

1964-69 Somportex James Bond card sets Album contains my 1960s James Bond 007 non sport card sets primarily produced by Somportex (UK): 1964 Somportex James Bond Film Scene Series complete set of 60 cards with #25 variation. Ex/Mt approx value $1000 The 60 card set features scenes from the first three 007 films (Dr. No, From Russia With Love and Goldfinger). Card #25 was printed twice and depicted Shirley Eaton in two different poses. The set is quite controversial (and rare), as it was withdrawn from sale in 1965 after the Daily Mirror reported a member of British Parliament complained that the photo cards--many featuring bikini-clad "Bond Girls"--were a "disgusting and disgraceful corruption of young children." Somportex would immediately release the much more subdued "Exciting World of James Bond" 50 card set to replace it. Also included in this album: 1965 Somportex Exciting World of James Bond complete set of 50 cards in mostly EX conditon. approx value $250 1966 Somportex Thunderball complete. set of 72 cards + 6 photo variations in NM condition approx value $500 1967 Somportex You Only Live Twice complete set of 78 film slides on 26 film strips in NM condition w/viewer. approx value $1000 1969 Anglo Confectionery On Her Majesty's Secret Service complete set of 56 cards NM approx value $400 1965 Philadelphia Gum (USA) James Bond 007 Set complete set of 66 cardsw/Wrapper NM/Mt approx value:$1400 1966 Philadelphia Gum (USA) James Bond:Thunderball complete set of 66 cards w/Decoder & wrapper Nm/Mt approx value:$400 |
