1960 Fleer Casper Fleer produced this beautiful 66 card set of Casper the Friendly Ghost in 1960. A cartoon favorite in the 60s, the Casper set featured television-style borders framing a color cartoon. The reverse contained 3 or 4 panel comic strips. The set is frequently found with centering problems making it a condition rarity in higher grade.	1960 Golden Press Presidents Golden Press issued a nice booklet with perforated cards of the Presidents of the US - Washington through Eisenhower - in 1964. The cards have great color portraits on the fronts and nice write-ups of the president's term on the reverse.	1961 Topps Sports Cars Topps issued this oddly size set of 66 cards featuring color illustrations of Sports Cars in 1961. Although a few familiar names such as Porsche and Alfa Romeo appear in the set, there are also a fair number of obscure autos as well. The set was issued with a set of license plate stickers which are quite difficult to find.
1962 Topps Mars Attacks Topps rolled out its Bubbles Inc alias to brand Mars Attacks, their 1962 release which combined sensationalistic color artwork with nightmare scenarios played out against the cold war mood of the time. Without doubt the most popular of all the non-sports sets, Mars features many scenes of graphic violence - classics such as "Destroying a Dog" and "Burning Cattle".	1962 Topps Casey & Kildare In 1961, Ben Casey and Dr. Kildare appeared on the small screen to great fanfare. Similar in structure but not in tone, both series features youthful doctors and their relationships with more senior mentors. While Kildare was more idealistic, Casey earned more attention as the brooding, moody doctor. Topps issued this 110 card set of black and white photos in 1962.	1962 Topps Civil War News / 1962 Civil War Currency History comes alive in this 88 card classic issued by Topps in 1962 featuring the classic clash of cultures between the North and the South. Inked by the same artist as the popular Mars set of the same year, Civil War News also features many scenes of graphic - and sometimes creative - violence with the reverse featuring a mini history lesson in the form of a mock newspaper - the Civil War News. Card of key figures such as Jefferson Davis, Grant and Lee command a premium as do the #1 card and the very difficult #88 Checklist.
1963 Topps Beverly Hillbillies The Hillbillies took the TV world by storm in 1962 - rocketing to number 1 in the ratings after its third broadcast. Topps jumped on the bandwagon as well - issuing a 66 card set in 1963 showing color photos from the series with comic captions.	1963 Topps Astronauts One year after John Glenn made US History, Topps issued this 55 card set of color NASA photographs and their space capsules. The backs are 3-D sketches which must be viewed with a special viewer, which was inserted into 5 cent packs.	1964 Beatles Plaks Each card in this 55 card Topps issue contains a picture or slogan about the Beatles. The cards could be hooked together in a chain by punching out three pre-scored cardboard pieces and thus exposing the slots on each card. As with any card issue designed to be mutilated by kids of the day, the Beatles Plaks set is considerably scarce in high grade.
1964 Beatles Movie Topps quickly capitalized on Beatle-mania in 1964, issuing three series of Black and White photos and three issues of Color Photos, along with the novelty Plak set. That's seven sets in one year for the Fab Four! We have nice vending runs from the B/W and Color sets along with a complete set of the tougher-to-find Diary cards.	1964 Beatles Diary Topps quickly capitalized on Beatle-mania in 1964, issuing three series of Black and White photos and three issues of Color Photos, along with the novelty Plak set. That's seven sets in one year for the Fab Four! We have nice vending runs from the B/W and Color sets along with a complete set of the tougher-to-find Diary cards.	1964 Beatles Color Photos While Topps released several sets featuring the Fab Four in 1964, the Beatles Color is the best remembered set of the period. Unlike the quickly produced Topps release of black-and-white photos, these color photos feature the Beatles in the US - frolicking in Central Park prior to the Sullivan appearance, on-stage in DC and playing in the beach in Miami. A classic issue which captures the mania of the time perfectly.
1964 Beatles B/W Photos In 1964, Topps capitalized on Beatle mania with a three series, 165 card set of Beatles black and white photos with facisimile signatures. The Beatle portrait cards are especially sought by fans and collectors alike.	1964 Donruss Addams Family This 66-card Addams Family set was issued by Donruss Company in 1964. Each card shows a black and white photo from the TV series with the caption and card number at the bottom, while the back is a part of a picture where all card backs form a puzzle.	1964 Leaf Mnusters Leaf issued this 72 card set featuring scenes from the Munsters TV series in 1964. The set featured the familiar black and white format with humorous captions. The set was distributed with an insert of 16 color stickers - issued one per wax pack.
1964 Topps Outer Limits Do not attempt to adjust your web browser - it's the Outer Limits. This 1963-64 program brought the far-out monster movie motif to television and is well remembered today. In 1964 Bubbles Inc issued a 50 card classic highlighting some of the more popular monsters and space invaders from the series. Collectors find this issue very challenging to find in high grade due to the unforgiving black borders.	1965 Fleer Hogan's Heroes Quite simply the scarcest non-sports set of the Sixties in high grade, this 66 card effort from Fleer is on virtually every advanced collectors wantlist.	1965 Topps Presidents and Famous Americans Topps patterned this set after its Baseball insert of embossed. Unlike that set, the portraits of these famous Americans and US Presidents are very recognizable. Due to the gold foil borders, this 44 card set is very condition sensitive.
1965 Topps Push/Pull One of the most inventive sets issued by Topps in the 60s, the Push Pull set is amazingly scarce and very difficult to find in grade due to the large size and design. The cards use a louvered shutter technique to alternate two contrasting images, each visible when the tab on the card was pushed or pulled. The set was issued in very limited test quantities and is very seldom seen.	1965 Fleer Weird-Ohs Fleer's 1965 Weird Ohs set features bizarre characters engaged in otherwise normal professions - golfer, skier, army sergeant, etc. The set was distributed one year before the better know Baseball Weird-Ohs but feature the same design.	1965 Topps Battle Topps' 1965 Battle set features some of the most graphic War Images ever captured on cardboard. Illustrated by artist Norm Saunders - the creator of the Mars Attacks and Civil War News sets - the set received very limited distribution by Topps, possibly accounting for its scarcity today.
1965 Ugly Stickers Topps issued this sticker set originally in 1965 with a set of 164 different names distributed among 44 numbered pieces. Each piece except numbers 29, 30, 32 and 40 has four different names for the same design. As the issue was designed to be affixed to notebooks and the like, finding nm/mt specimens today can prove difficult to find.	1965 War Bulletin The wrapper on this 1965 Philadelphia Gum issue said WWII but the set has become known as War Bulletin - which is the heading on the reverse of each card. For this 88 card set, Philly used real photos from WWII and avoided the excessive violence of Topps Battle set which was issued the same year.	1965 Man From UNCLE The American "spy craze" which began in 1962 reached its heights in the mid-sixties. With spy spoofs like Get Smart on TV, the genre was delivered true to form in the very popular NBC series Man from Uncle - which debuted in 1964. Secret agents Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin took the country by storm - appearing on board games, lunch pails and the obligatory Topps Black and White card set. Complete at 55 cards, the set features the show stars in action. Open Channel D!
1965 Topps James Bond Despite two moderately films, James Bond was still somewhat of a minor public interest in 1964 when Goldfinger debuted - driving 007 from super spy to cultural icon. Goldfinger accounted for a marketing bonanza for the series which resulted in games, toys and of course, trading cards. The first set of 66 Philly gum cards featuring the spy quickly brought the fad up to date - dedicating about 2/3 the set to the films Dr. No and From Russia With Love. But it was those Goldfinger cards we all remember - especially the laser beam, the showdown at Fort Know and Odd Job, the indestructible henchmen.	1965 Fleer McHale's Navy McHale and crew had already moved from the South Pacific to Italy when Fleer issued this 66 card set to capitalize on the popular TV show McHale's Navy. How popular was McHale's Navy - the show generated not one, but two feature films in 1964-65, including one in which the entire cast appeared WITHOUT McHale. McHale's Nay was an unusual source for comedy - unlike Sgt. Bilko which was safely based in Kansas, McHale was based in the South Pacific during WWII and pretty much each episode involved shooting down enemy airplanes or torpedoing subs.	1965 Leaf What's My Job Leaf issued this 72 card set of comic drawings in 1965. The card backs have clues to guess the job held be the card's subject. The set was also issued with a scarce set of 16 stickers.
1966 Topps Get Smart Topps marketed the 66 card set featuring Get Smart, secret agent Maxwell Smart and his able partner Agent 99. The cards were originally issued in five cents gum packs in the form of a panel of two cards, performated together. The set is most commonly today found as singles and as such this is now considered the standard. Several of the cards in the set were Single Printed, making piecing together a complete set a challenge.	1966 Topps Get Smart Secret Agent Kit Topps marketed the 66 card set featuring Get Smart, secret agent Maxwell Smart and his able partner Agent 99. The set's wax packs contained a perforated insert card from Maxwell Smart's Secret Agent Kit. The set is similar to the 1966 Funny Ring, although they were oversized making them more prone to wear and tear, perforating, etc. Complete at 16 pieces, the Get Smart Secret Agent Kit inserts are scarce in any grade.	1966 Topps Batman Color With its debut in January of 1966, Batman sparked a craze for campy humor and fashion that defined the year. Although only on TV for slightly over two years - January 1966 to March 1968 - Batman is among the most remembered shows of the era. Topps started quickly to capitalize on the craze with three sets designed after the comic strip, featuring great color artwork. By summer, the Batman movie was released and Topps released a set of Color Photos featuring actors and sets from the film. This set is also known as Bat Laffs due to the caption on the reverse.
1966 Topps Batman Black In 1966, Beatle-mania gave way to the Batman craze and Topps hit the market with 5 Batman cards sets throughout the year. The Batman "black bat" is the initial release - a 55 card set feature comic strip style drawings and narratives as the Caped Crusader and Robin battle Joker, Penguin and the Catwoman.	1966 Batman Red The Batman Red and Blue Bat sets are the follow-up to the popular black bat release.

With Joe Besser replacing Curly, the set again shows the Stooges in comedic situations with joke captures on the fronts. The reverse of the cards makes a giant Stooges puzzle.	1966 Topps James Bond In 1966, Philly gum updated their James Bond set with a new series of 66 cards featuring action from the latest film. The 1966 Bond set for Thunderball is considerably scarcer than the 1965 version as the pop report attests - as of 12/28, there were 190 9s from the 1965 set and only 18 9s from the 1966 set! 1965 PSA 8s also outnumber its counterpart by a 3-1 ratio. For Bond fans, the Thunderball set is a must-own!
1966 Topps Superman Topps issued a 66 card set featuring the television show Superman in 1965 - nearly 15 years after the show first aired. Superman was a syndicated series - as opposed to network produced - meaning its episodes showed up continually on local stations for decades, even surviving today on Nick at Night. The set featured scenes from the series featuring George Reeves.	1966 Green Hornet Stickers This set of 44 stickers is significantly scarcer than its trading card counterpart. The stickers feature colorful logos and scenes from the popular ABC series starring Van Williams and Bruce Lee. Due to the sensitive nature of the materials used, there stickers are particularly difficult to find in nice condition.	1966 Green Hornet By the time Green Hornet debuted on ABC in the fall of 1966, Batman and the comic craze it inspired was already starting to wane. Produced by the same people, the Green Hornet played its crime fighting seriously - taking on organized crime instead of the comic-inspired heroes of Gotham City. In any event, the show failed to catch on and lasted only one short season.
1966 Topps Lost In Space Topps issued this classic 55 card black and white set in 1966, highlighting the Irwin Allen show Lost In Space, which debuted the previous September. On ABC for three seasons, Space featured the exploits of the Robinson family, who spent three seasons trying to recover from the sabotage on their initial voyage by Dr. Smith.	1966 Philly Tarzan Philidelphia Gum released this 66-card Tarzan set in 1966, the same year the Tarzan television program ran production.

1967 Topps Wacky Packs Topps issued its classic Wacky Pack stickers throughout the 70s, featuring gross-out parodies of everyday household products such as Kleenex and Wheaties. However, its initial Wacky Pack release was a 44 card die-cut set released in 1967. Similar to the GPK cards 15 years later, the initial Wacky Pack release created a sensation regarding the disintegration of our culture and also kept the Topps Legal department busy. As a result of several lawsuits, there were an additional 12 cards released as replacements for some of the more controversial cards such as Ratz Crackers. These 12 number variations generally bring a premium as will many of the cards that were pulled. One of the classic Topps issues of all-time!
1967 Donruss Star Trek This 72 card set was issued by Leaf in 1967 and then quickly withdrawn from the market for contractual problems. As a result, the set is extremely scarce and highly sought by advanced non-sports collectors. The set features sharp black and white photos from the original NBC TV series with descriptions of the Enterprise mission on the reverse.	1967 Topps Who Am I Topps issued its Who Am I cards in wax packs of five cards for a nickel. In the initial print run, the cards contained scratch off disguises over the faces of the famous subjects. Later in the year, the set was reissued without the disguises, meaning mint cards may be available with or without the coating. The set contains mostly historical figures but also the popular cards of Willie Mays, Babe Ruth and Sandy Koufax.	1968 Donruss Flying Nun In 1968 Donruss collaborated with Screen Gems to produce this 66 card set based on the television show The Flying Nun featuring Sally Field. Of course the actress at the time was best known as Gidget - later she would go on to win two Academy Awards and headline many classic films in the 80s and 90s.
1968 Topps Laugh-In Laugh-In debuted in 1968 and soon became the number one program on television. Recalling a long-forgotten vaudeville format, the program featured rapid fire jokes and somewhat sexy and topical humor. Topps quickly issused a 77 card set - to capture the mood of the show, the set is also a mixed bag, featuring foldees, knock-knocks, necklaces, finger puppets, etc.	1968 Topps Giant Plaks Two versions of this set were issued - one was on think cardboard with a hole prepunched for hanging. That set also has wavy edges and is much scarcer. A later version replicated the look of the original, but was printed on thinner paper. This 50 card set was issued by Topps in 1968 and features the typical artwork and goofy puns of the period	1969 Topps Man on the Moon In 1969, Topps issued a card set highlighting the Apollo 11 moon landing in July 1969 - the event which transfixed the world also made a sterling card set, since the photography from the moon was still very news worthy. The set proved so popular, it was issued twice by Topps, originally in 1969 and again in early 1970. The initial issue of 55 cards was numbered 1a-35a and 36b-55. The set was extended with 44 cards numbered 56c - 99c while the initial 55 cards were reissued, with the same fronts but different backs. These 99 cards are easily identified by the tag line "99 cards on the reverse."
