Description

1964 Topps Giants is a 60-card set released in the summer of 1964 that, as the name suggests, was printed in an over-sized format. Each card measures 3 1/8" X 5 1/4", or about the sized of a postcard. The checklist roughly parallels that of the 1963 MLB All-Star Game roster. Compared to other "odd ball" sets of the era, the Giants were printed in greater quantities.

Seven of the 60 cards are more difficult to find and are indicated by SP in the checklist below.

Distribution

Wax/Cello: 24 packs per box, three cards plus one stick of gum per pack (MSRP: $0.05).
