What-If Baseball cards, Topps sub sets

With the exception of a few combo cards in the 1953 Bowman or 1954 and 1957 Topps sets, sub sets did not catch on until the 1958 Topps set. The 1958 set marked the start of Topps including sub sets like all stars, highlight cards, MVP's, league leaders, etc. The uniqueness and relatively lower price point of these cards have made them very popular with collectors.

Although Topps was very clever with the design of these cards over the years, I couldn't resist the opportunity to put my spin on a few of the more popular sub sets of the 50's and early 60's Topps issues:


                                                     1957 Topps Ford/Mantle/Martin
1957 Topps Mantle/Kluszewski
1957 Topps Mantle/Martin
1957 Topps Yankees
1958 Topps Musial/Williams
1959 Topps Stan Musial All Star
1959 Topps Ted Williams All Star
1959 Topps Babe Ruth Baseball Thrills
1959 Topps Mantle/Williams
1960 Topps Stan Musial All Star
1960 Topps Ted Williams All Star
1960 Topps Berra/Howard
1961 Topps Stan Musial All Star
1961 Topps Joe Dimaggio MVP
1961 Topps Joe Jackson
1961 Topps Mantle/Musial/Maris
1962 Topps Joe Dimaggio Special
