1969 Baseball -

Miracle Mets, Expansion & the 660 Card Classic from Topps

In 1969, the Major Leagues expanded to 24 teams, split into four divisions, and marveled as the formerly inept Mets overtook the Cubs to win their division, defeated Hank Aaron's Braves to advance to the World Series, and shocked the heavily favored Orioles to win the World Series. Batting averages soared as the mound was lowered to reverse the trend which peaked in 1968 with McLain's 31 wins and Gibson's 1.12 ERA. Billy Martin debuted in the dugout and the player hold-outs of Donn Clendenon and Hawk Harrelson hinted of things to come in the 70s.

We recently acquired a super high PSA graded set from this popular year. To commemorate the 35th anniversary of this classic baseball season, we put this classic set and season in our featured set spotlight. Our feature is divided into the four chapters.

• Baseball 1969 - In The Spotlight

• Expansion Comes to Bubble Gum Cards

• The Rookie Parade

After you enjoy our features, you can check out our inventory from the classic 1969 Topps set.
