Great video sharing the explanation of SPs. As an autograph collector I get frustrated when I am hitting the "commons" and then I get the "That one will cost more because it's a SP or Hi" I always try to say I am not trying to collect it for the # but the player. Thanks for sharing and Happy Collecting!

Thanks for the history lesson. Really interesting. Bluejacket also had a video about when duplicating a card on a different sheet, they created a totally different plate image, so there were ever so minor differences in printing the same card.

I found this video so interesting. I am currently working on putting this set together, and I focused on the high number series first to get the pain out of the way early. This card was the last one I obtained to finish the high numbers. #527 Horace Clarke and #540 Denny McClain were also frustratingly expensive. I obtained all HOF’s next, so now I’m focused on finishing out the set with the LL subset and many commons.

1966 and 1967 are killing me as a Tigers team set collector. The 1966 team card gets up to at least $100 for a decent copy. The 1967 Norm Cash and even Mickey Stanley are also super costly. I will finish 1965 before I finish 1966 and 1967 (I need 3 cards for all 3 sets).

@@PhilliesBaseballCardsNorm Cash hit a ton of Home runs. He's no Richie Allen , however his Fielding and statistics put him as a once Borderline HOF famer. He will never get in. However he is better than Bill Mazerowski who got in for his defense. Cash has an extremely gifted glove too. As where Allen should be in the Hall of Fame.

Interesting info...thank you. 1966 was the first year I bought packs from the store. I was 6 years old. Not long after, the cards got lost or thrown away. In 1980, for nostalgia's sake, I bought a complete 1966 set (EX-MT) for $350. That was a lot of money for a 20-year-old back then. My Shirley/Jackson (wasn't there an author by that name?) is in great shape, so I'm thinking that was the one of the best investments I've ever made.

Sounds like you kept the 66 Topps set all these yrs. Good for you!.I was born in 69 and my biggest downfall in a lifetime of collecting was always getting the card(or collectible) and eventually selling it back off and rebuying it again and repeating the cycle over and over..Didn’t stop till I hit about 30. I always admired the people that had the sense to hang on to their collections long term

Let me tweak it just a little in regard to 1966 (and 1962). The last series, 523-598, actually has 76 cards (598 minus 522). Then, to keep the kids interested, Topps would include the 7th series checklist in the semi-high series, then reprint it with the highs. So that makes 77 cards. 77 X 3 = 231. That leaves extra spaces for 33 of the cards. Okay, so that results in 44 short prints. But wait, we're not counting that checklist as a short print, because it was also printed with the semi-highs. So that's how we get 43. Overall, this is an excellent presentation for the beginning to average collector, who is presumably not a compulsive wonk like me.

I remember seeing a dealer at the National that had a whole table of them, mostly graded. None less than $50 or so, and that was in the mid-2010s. Glad it wasn't just a greedy dealer hoarding them all. I finally found one for about $100 a couple years ago. Worst part is, it was only for my player collection of Jackson, which is one of about 50+, and there's no real compelling reason I collect him besides I had a few different cards of him when I was young and he played for the Orioles. I will need another when I decide to build '66 Topps.
