Item Description
2.5x3.5". The 1961 Topps Baseball set consists of 587 cards. With the exception of some of the specialty cards, Topps returned to a vertical format with their 1961 cards, which bear a large color photograph of the player on each card's front, with his name and team affiliation printed across the bottom. Innovations in this series include numbered checklists, cards for statistical leaders and ten "Baseball Thrills" cards. The set physically numbers 587 but it numbered through 598 - no #s 426, 587 and 588 were issued. Further intrigue includes two cards numbered 463 exist (one a Braves team card and one a player card of Jack Fisher), with the Braves team card checklisted as #426. The scarce high numbers are card numbers 523-589, although the effort is one of the most highly sought-after editions of the 1960s.
Roger Eugene Maris was an American professional baseball right fielder who played 12 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB). He is best known for setting a new MLB single-season home run record with 61 home runs in 1961. The record remained unbroken until 1998 and remained the American League (AL) record until Aaron Judge broke it in 2022. Some other career highlights include being a seven time All-Star, three time World Series Champion and a two time MVP. The New York Yankees retired his number "9" and he is enshrined in their Monument Park.
