This 1964 Topps Giants Complete Set contains 60 over-sized baseball cards, each measuring 3 1/8" by 5 1/4". The fronts of each card contain a color photograph of the player, as well as a baseball near the bottom of the card with his name, team and position. The backs of the each card use a newspaper format to provide biographical information, as well as another black and white action shot. ?The 1964 Topps Giants Baseball originally sold in 3 card packs, with a stick of bubble, for a nickel. ? ?

Topps designed this set with fairness in mind, as there are three players from each team.? While that may sound like a good idea, including the best three players from the weaker teams, included some very forgettable players - and several major stars were?omitted. ?So instead of Eddie Mathews, Pete Rose and Willie McCovey, the 1964 Topps Giants Set went with Ken Johnson, Dave Wickersham and Galen Cisco.? That aside, with over one-third of players in set are enshrined in the Hall-of-Fame, the 1964 Topps Giants is a great baseball card set to own. ?

The 1964 Topps Giants Set has 7 very tough to find cards: #3 Sandy Koufax, #28 Bob Friend, #42 Dick Stuart, #45 Wayne Causey, #47 Galen Cisco, #51 Willie Mays and #60 Bill Skowron.??It is typical for these 7 "short-prints" to make up over one-half of the overall cost of a complete set..? Collectors on a budget, may want to consider our version of this set, without the short-printed cards.? The other high dollar cards in the 1964 Topps Giants Set are:?#11 Roberto Clemente and #25 Mickey Mantle.

Card Grading

Determining the card's grade

The sharpness of the corners and the degree to which a card was cut off-center determines the maximum possible grade that the card can receive. The card's grade is further reduced by any flaws or blemishes that it may have. Each card is evaluated on the following characteristics and assigned a score.

  1. Corners - Each corner of a card is individually analyzed, and then assigned a score on how square, sharp, and flawless it appears.
  2. Centering - The borders are measured, at multiple points along the edge, to determine the horizontal and vertical centering and tilt.
  3. Defects - The card is examined for imperfections, such as: size, print flaws, dings, stains, creases, or other wear which could lower its grade.
  4. Bonus for Perfect Centering - A vintage card, with near perfect centering, is given a one-half grade bonus. So when you buy one of our cards with a half-grade (e.g. 3.5 or 6.5) it will appear perfectly centered, both vertically and horizontally.

Grading Criteria

  1. Worst Corner - A card can grade only as high as the worst corner will allow.
  2. Average Corner
  3. Tilt - The difference in width of a card border near the top, compared to the bottom.
  4. OCT - The sum of how far a card is Off-Center, plus its Tilt.
  5. Minimum Centering Requirements
  6. Eye Appeal - The combination of a card's centering, corners and tilt.
  7. Well-Centered - Cards that appear perfectly centered receive a bonus of one-half grade.
  8. Flaws, defects and other imperfections - can lower a card's grade.
  9. Card Backs - the above criteria is also considered, for the back of the cards, but does not inflict as severe of a penalty to its grade.

Packaging

Please note that when images are enlarged there may be instances of vertical lines running through the scans. This was caused by a "dust speck" on the scanner and can be verified by the vertical lines running into the black margins on the top and bottom of the image.
