Description

1961 Topps Baseball Stamps Album, with 148 Stamps - Including Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays and 20 Additional Hall of Fame Members On the Set - The 1961 Topps Baseball Stamps Set was partly introduced to capitalize on the excitement around baseball's expansion. This collection includes 208 unnumbered portrait stamps, divided into two color series: rich green and chocolate brown. The green series was released first, followed by the brown series later in the 1961 season. Notably, Al Kaline appears in both color versions, likely due to a printing oversight by Topps, as he was already included in the green set when he reappeared in the brown. Each stamp, approximately 1 3/8” x 1 7/8” in size, was packaged in pairs alongside 1961 Topps baseball cards in wax packs. To encourage collecting, Topps also offered a stamp album for just a dime. This 5” x 8” album, with its bright green cover, provided a two-page spread for each of the 18 major league teams. The left page detailed team information like pennants, pitching and batting records, ballpark dimensions, and World Series titles, while a portion of the left and the right page contained ten blank spaces designated for player stamps. On the Album for Sale - This particular album exhibits the wear typical of a 1960s paper item frequently handled by young collectors. There are paper folds and tears, most of which show in the listing photos. The album includes 148 stamps, featuring Hall of Famers Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Ernie Banks, Yogi Berra, Stan Musial, Frank Robinson, Don Drysdale, Eddie Mathews, Robin Roberts, Bill Mazeroski, Orlando Cepeda, Willie McCovey, Hoyt Wilhelm, Luis Aparicio, Minnie Miñoso, Early Wynn, Al Kaline, Jim Bunning, Whitey Herzog, Dick Williams, Harmon Killebrew, and Whitey Ford. Pages 17-24 are detached from the center staples, a common issue in albums from this era.
