1967 Topps Baseball Card # 273 Dick Lines RC - Washington Senators (VG/EX)

Description: 1967 Topps Baseball Card # 273 Dick Lines RC - Washington Senators (VG/EX) 1960-1969 Baseball CardsFew time periods in the history of the hobby garner as much interest as 1960s baseball cards. Packed with Hall of Fame players and valuable rookie cards, these products are a set collector’s dream. Ungraded commons are still very reasonable and can be readily found at card shows and online, while high-graded stars command prices that push deep into the thousands. This decade was mostly dominated by Topps but a few popular Fleer products were released early in the 1960s that included a roster of retired players, including Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Ty Cobb.Part of what makes 1960s baseball cards so special is the impressive lineup of players that filled the checklists. Established stars are joined by the new rookie class, which includes top players like Pete Rose, Nolan Ryan, Reggie Jackson, Tom Seaver, Johnny Bench, Rod Carew, Carl Yastrzemski, and Lou Brock.1967 Topps Baseball CardsNoted for its simple design, 1967 Topps Baseball also comes with a strong checklist. Key rookie cards in the set include Hall of Fame players Tom Seaver and Rod Carew. Product Details Featuring Hall of Fame rookie cards for Tom Seaver and Rod Carew, 1967 Topps Baseball combines large player images and a minimal design to create an appealing vintage release.Finally breaking the 600-card barrier, 1967 Topps Baseball is another instance of a size increase from the flagship set, with the checklist expanding to 609 cards. Many collectors agree that the release is one of the best of the decade based on the simplicity of the design. This really allows the player images to be the main focus of the set.Among the most notable updates to the design, the familiar text boxes that normally house the player's name and team have been removed from the 1967 Topps card fronts. While that info is still present on the card, the name and team text is incorporated into the main player image, making the photography the focal point.Unlike other designs that Topps used in the 1960s, the colorful block text at the bottom really makes the team name stand out without dominating the card. Card fronts also include the the player's facsimile signature. Finally, a discerning eye will notice that the dot used to separate the player's last name from their fielding position was removed in later printings.Design tweaks are not exclusive to the cards fronts in 1967 Topps Baseball. The backs showcase a vertical design, which allows more length for the season-by-season stats and still enough room for a short paragraph and the Topps cartoon. It is worth noting that lime green background makes the set more condition sensitive because it accentuates damaged corners and edges.1967 Topps Baseball subsets continue the trends of the decade with World Series Highlights (#151-155) and League Leaders (#233-244). The majority of rookies are featured on the multi-player Rookie Star cards. One new addition is the checklist cards. Although the concept was nothing new, the design shifted from a generic checklist to floating heads for several star players.The high-number series is again the site of many subjects that appear less often compared to the other 1967 Topps cards. The fact that rookies for Rod Carew and Tom Seaver are found in this part of the checklist certainly helps increase values. The other Hall of Fame cards in the final series also see a similar bump.Strangely enough, while nearly every card in the 1967 Topps Baseball set features a player's facsimile autograph, there is one exception. The card for Milt Pappas, #254, omits the autograph entirely. Several other errors show up in '67 Topps, including card #47, which features a photograph of James Murray on the card intended for George Kornice.Multiple variations add to the master set count. One of the key options is the limited Ed Spiezio card missing part of the his name. It commands a considerable premium. There is a corrected versions that is much more common. Also, while not technically a variation, Roger Maris had been traded from the New York Yankees to the St. Louis Cardinals and his main card notes the "Cards" on the front. However, multiple blank-back proofs featuring Maris with the Yankees have also surfaced.Officially known as All-Star Pin-Ups, the main insert in 1967 Topps Baseball is a 5" x 7" poster. The blank-back set totals 32 players and originally came folded in packs. This has resulted in additional damage and can make high-grades very tough to find. The Pin-Ups are numbered on the front and also include a facsimile signature.How We Grade: Gem Mint (GMT): (10.0) A flawless card. To be in Gem Mint condition, a card’s borders must have a ratio of 50/50 side to side and top to bottom. Mint (MT): (9.0-9.5) A perfect card. Well-centered with parallel borders which appear equal to the naked eye. Four sharp, square corners. No creases, edge dents, surface scratches, paper flaws, loss of luster, yellowing or fading, regardless of age. No imperfectly printed cards – out of register, badly cut or ink flawed – or card stained by contact with gum, wax or other substances can be considered truly Mint, even if new out of the pack. Generally, to be considered in Mint condition, a card’s borders must exist in a ratio of 60/40 side to side and top to bottom. Near Mint/Mint (NM/MT): (8.0-8.5) A super high-end card that appears Mint 9 at first glance, but upon closer inspection, may exhibit a very slight wax stain on reverse, slight fraying at one or two corners, or a minor printing imperfection. Centering must be app. 65/35 to 70/30 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the reverse. Near Mint (NM): (7.0-7.5) A nearly perfect card at first glance, but upon closer inspection, may have slight surface wear, slight fraying on some corners, slightly out-of-register picture focus, a minor printing blemish or slight wax stain on reverse. Centering must be 70/30 to 75/25 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the reverse. Excellent/Near Mint (EX/NM): (6.0-6.5) Card may have visible surface wear or a printing defect. A very light scratch. Corners may have slightly graduated fraying. Picture focus may be slightly out-of-register. Card may have minor wax stain on reverse, may have very slight nothing on edges. Centering must be 80/20 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the reverse. Excellent (EX): (5.0-5.5) Corners are still fairly sharp with only moderate wear. Card borders may be off center as much as 85/15. No creases. May have very minor gum, wax or product stains, front or back. Surfaces may show slight loss of luster from rubbing across other cards. Dark bordered cards may have one or two small nicks. Very Good/Excellent (VG/EX): (4.0-4.5) Shows obvious handling, but still looks nice. Corners may be rounded or have minor creases. No major creases, tape marks or extraneous markings or writing. Surfaces does exhibit loss of luster, but the printing is intact. May have paper wrinkles. May show major gum, wax or other packaging stains. All four borders visible, though the ratio may be as poor as 95/5. Exhibits honest wear. Very Good (VG): (3.0-3.5) A well-worn card, but exhibits no intentional damage or abuse. May be “Mis-cut or Off-Center” with no border visible. May have major or multiple creases, however, creases are not so deep as to show the underlying paper. This card is completely readable, has not been written on, and has no tape marks or holes. Corner rounding may extend well beyond the border. Good (GD) (2.0-2.5) Shows excessive wear, along with damage or abuse. Will show all the wear characteristics of a Very Good card, along with such damage as thumb tack holes in or near margins, evidence of having been taped or pasted, perhaps small tears around the edges or creases so heavily as to break the cardboard. Backs may show minor added pen or pencil writing or be missing small bits of paper. Still basically a complete card. Poor (P): (1.0-1.5) A card that has been tortured to death. Corners or other areas may be torn off. Card may have been trimmed, show holes from a paper punch or have been used for BB gun practice. Front may have extraneous pen or pencil writing, or other defacement. Major portions of front or back design may be missing. Not a pretty sight.
