Thanks for sharing Mike! I like the set but don’t have that many in my PC. It is tough for me to gage the centering on these cards because of the team name with no real border.
Yeah it does make it a little hard to judge centering. I mainly look at the bottom area of the card. If it's somewhat thin than chances are the top is not where it should be.
Do you have any way to evaluate that Topps cards 1964 from Venezuela are genuine? I have reviewed several already graduated with the light test and all of them allow light to pass through.
Well, I wish I had one of the cards in the countdown but sadly do not 🥲 Even so, still enjoying this series a lot. So much great info all in one place. As always, thanks for putting all of this together John.
Thank you. Don't worry if you don't have any of those cards. We all have cards in our collection that we should be proud to own. Everyone collects differently. As long as you enjoy collecting what you like that's all that matters. 😃
Yeah, it was an interesting concept for Topps to add the scratch-off on the back. But for us collectors I would suspect that you would have to pay a premium for a card that wasn't scratched off as I'm sure most kids scratched them off to get to the answer.
Thanks for another great countdown card video, John. Set features a lot of future HO Famers. Not too surprised that the Mantle made #1 on the 64 top ten. I'm thinking that the lone PSA 10 of him has got to be valued in the six figures. I wish Topps had made individual rookie cards of players instead of the multi ones & that they had featured the gold trophy somewhere on the front of the card like they did with Pete Rose & other players.
Thanks Kevin. With all the Mantle collectors out there I'm sure the 10 would easily go for 6-figures. I can see why Topps went with multi-player rookie cards at the time. Was a way to feature more players and for the most part no one knew how successful the players would be. It's easy for us to look back and wish they did a solo Rose rookie for 63. But Topps wasn't very concerned about rookie cards like they are today.
Yeah I'm not sure Mantle will be beat as I keep going back in time. Maybe one of the big rookie cards will place above him for one of the years. And of course he won't be in the 54 Topps list.
I would think relatively speaking that they would probably fall in the same order. Difference is, there are a lot fewer higher grade copies of the Venezuela cards than the Topps cards. So prices for high grade Venezuela copies would be much higher.
I like the 1964 design it's not my favorite of the 60's it's not last place of the 60's. not much of a surprise in the order. questions 1. are you feeling the same way as me when doing these top 10 most valueable cards of certain years it seems like the Multi player rookie isn't where it belongs on the 72 set with Fisk 65 with Hunter and Carlton , 1968 with Fingers , this set with Ritchie Allen , and the homerun leaders the Niekro ends up in 9th place it just seems like there isn't a demand for these cards do you get the same feeling?
It's not necessarily the multi-player rookie cards, but lesser hall of famers in general. I'm not surprised at all that the lesser hall of famers do not sell for as much as the more popular players of the time (or what collectors today feel are the more desirable). For the most part a card's price reflects how in demand they are by collectors. If more collectors want Carlton Fisk cards than Hank Aaron cards, then Fisk cards would sell for more. But it's clear that they don't based on the prices for the cards of them.
Good Stuff. Nice to see Ernie finally crack the top 10 in one of the yearly lists.
Thanks Russel! Same here! Love his 64!
Thank you for the countdown, really enjoyed the video. Tha psa 10 Mantle would sell for crazy money.
Thanks Orlando! Yeah, would definitely be a highlight for an auction house to list!
ONE THING that is obvious is The Mick is King! Clemente would easily break 50K for a PSA 10. Great work as usual John.
Thanks Mike! Yes he is! And no doubt on the Clemente.

@@WadeBoggsFan thanks for the centering tip.

Hi. Unfortunately I don't know much about the Topps Venezuela cards and how to tell if they are genuine or not. I don't have any in my collection.

I think the 1963 through 65 sets is one of topps best 3 year runs. All are esthetically pleasing and the designs are dramatically different.
I would tend to agree with you. Although I would have to include 67 in my list as well.
. I didn't know about the scratch offs the orange backgrounds or that mantle didn't have a scratch off

Hi John. Thought that the Rose might have been #1, but Mickey rules.

Do you think that the 10 best Topps 1964 cards from the USA are also the best from TOPPS Venezuela? considering they are the same pieces
I would think relatively speaking that they would probably fall in the same order. Difference is, there are a lot fewer higher grade copies of the Venezuela cards than the Topps cards. So prices for high grade Venezuela copies would be much higher.

not much of a surprise in the order.
questions
1. are you feeling the same way as me when doing these top 10 most valueable cards of certain years it seems like the Multi player rookie isn't where it belongs on the 72 set with Fisk 65 with Hunter and Carlton , 1968 with Fingers , this set with Ritchie Allen , and the homerun leaders the Niekro ends up in 9th place it just seems like there isn't a demand for these cards do you get the same feeling?
