Topps dominated this era, so most collections are Topps sets and stars. Rookie cards of all-time greats lead values, and well-centered, sharp copies are scarce.

Centering matters

Many cards from this era were cut off-center. A well-centered copy of a key rookie can be worth far more than an off-center one in the same condition.
