Manufacturer: Topps
Set Size: 587 Cards
Card Size: 2-1/2” x 3-1/2”
Set Notes: The 1961 Topps baseball cards took a more standard approach to the design this year. Fronts of the cards feature large color photo of the player, name, position and team name on a color background. Backs were printed in black and light green ink and primarily dedicated to player stats. The set was released in multiple series, but an important note is that the first 370 cards are more readily available than the remaining cards.
