1960s-70s Collection of Baseball Cards - Approximately 2500 Cards Many Semi-Stars

The 1970s was a decade of change in our world. This collection of almost 2,500 cards shows just how much our nation changed.

Early on the design was simplistic, but by 1975 the vibrant colors of the decade were instituted into the baseball cards.

Each year is represented in this offering. Most of the cards are EX to EX. The 1971 cards, with their black borders, are VG with the customary corner wear. The most cards are from 1976 with about 500 cards. The majority of the cards are commons and semi-stars with a few Hall of Famers sprinkled in.

Some Hall of Famers are represented with the highlight being a 1969 Rod Carew. There are 37 cards from the 1950s and '60s (most photographed) including a 1962 Harmon Killebrew (#70), 1962 Eddie Mathews (#120) and Casey Stengel/Fred Haney checklist card.
