The 20 Most Valuable Baseball Cards from the 1960s

Hey Chris, the reason for many of the re-used photos from 1968 to 1969 was because Topps was in a contractual dispute with the players union in 1968, so they were not able to take any new photos of players early that season, so they had to rely on past photos for most of the 1969 set. This is also the reason for there being so many hat-less head shots or airbrushed hats in the 1969 set.

Trivia answer: Pete Rose and Roger Maris (Uecker is in the HOF with the Ford Frick award. Also gave one of the best HOF speeches ever).

This is what I love 60s baseball My dad was born in 52 and he had thousands of cards from the 50s and 60s My first baseball glove at 8 y/o was his red Stan Musual Mitt

For a collector whos 1 year into the collecting/dealing side of things your videos are invaluable information for people interested in cards on any level! As always thank you for the hard work!

I could watch these videos all day.. love that you are showing the cards throughout the entire video … would like to see more series like this maybe a 1950s underrated / Hidden gems .. same with all the vintage decades … great work

crazy to think about a kid not knowing that in his room is a card that would one day sell for millions

Thank you again, Chris. It always blows my mind seeing how some 60s HOF rookie cards sell for less than new cards of prospects who haven't made it to high-A ball yet. Hell, remember what Jason Dominguez cards were fetching in 2020? Its crazy to me...

At 3:38 is Bob Uecker's RC, 62 Topps #594. The player right above him was Ken Retzer of the Washing ton Senators. Retzer was best known for catching President Kennedy's first pitch in April 1963 to start the baseball season in DC. (JFK's last season opener). Retzer made national headlines for his picture of him standing next to JFK and getting the ball autographed by JFK. For years he kept the ball in a safe deposit box until he became older, and then he displayed it at his home. As to be expected, the ball was stolen from his house with multiple suspects. He was from Wood River, Ill. (St Louis area) and passed away at 86 in Arizona. So many people have asked me to get a copy of his RC, over the years, but I always tell them to buy his 64 card because of the price differential. Good video, thanks!

Thanks again Chris! A lot of these cards you featured here are favorites of mine, and my late father was a huge Ryan fan. ❤

Lot's of great memories. Opened my first box of cards in 1963.

Three non HOFers - Rose, Maris, Uecker. Uecker received the Ford Frick broadcasting award from the HOF, but that doesn’t make him a HOF inductee.

Don't forget 1964 Topps Tony La Russa! 18 rookies didnt make the cut, just incredible. Thanks Chris!

Love this type of video you do Chris! Love seeing the vintage! Well done, thank you.

I really like that '62 Topps Maris and LOVE the 1962 Topps AL HR Leaders card (#53) as it features Maris' 61 along with Mantle, Killebrew and Ken McMullen-like Jim Gentile (don't sleep on his 46 HRs!).

Another GEM from Chris. Love these. Look forward to the 50s version.

Thanks so much for updating the Top 20 vids after they become outdated. It's really interesting and helpful.

Just wanted to say "Thank you" Chris! Love all your content! Started collecting in "68. Glad my mom did'nt throw out my cards like many mom's did! LOL Take Care!

Love the videos Chris. Keep up the fantastic work

I love these videos! This channel is my favorite on YouTube!

Great video. Just getting into the vintage hobby. Really enjoyed this.
