Topps is at the half way point revealing the 60 greatest baseball cards of all time

[Baseball Nut]

2011 will be the 60th year Topps has issued Baseball Cards, their diamond anniversary. In celebration, Topps has a lot of promotions associated with diamonds and the number 60. Ten people are going to get a chance at winning one diamond engagement ring valued at $10,000 for Valentine's Day. Check out this funny video explaining it all.



Another promotion was a fan vote for the "Topps 60 Greatest Cards of all Time!" (As a side note, there is still time to vote for our fan favorite awards, Sickest Card, Favorite Set and Most Mojo. Just use the polls to the right of this page.)

Now at the half way point, the cards have been impressive. Card number 30 was the Topps 1953 Mickey Mantle.

The most recent was card number 28, the 1982 future stars card for the Baltimore Orioles.

You didn't have to be The Amazing Kreskin to see the potential of that guy in the middle. I have a few of those Cal Ripkin Jr. rookie cards.


Topps will continue to count down the 60 cards which will lead right to the release of their baseball cards. To see the countdown, go to the Topps site using this link.
