It's a cool set to assemble for set builders, whether you are a whole set person or team set. Both cool. Here's a quick look at the ten teams featured in the Super Teams set:
1954 New York Giants
1955 Brooklyn Dodgers
1957 Milwaukee Braves
1960 Pittsburgh Pirates
1961 Yankees
1967 St. Louis Cardinals
1969 New York Mets
1970 Baltimore Orioles
1974 Oakland Athletics
1986 New York Mets
The set also had a great set of autographs and relics. The relic cards in the set were all stadium seats from different places including Forbes Field in Pittsburgh and County Stadium in Milwaukee. For me, I really like the autographs in the set. The autographs are all on-card signatures, but come as either just a plain signature card or an autographed relic card. Here's a look at the Gibson autographed relic card:
I am sure that Topps has there reasons for making sets and not making sets, but again, this was always one of my favorite sets from the early 2000s and I am not sure why they did not continue this set past 2002. It would have been cool to go through and pick out a few World Series winners each year and put them on cardboard. For what it's worth, the single cards in this set are pretty popular with collectors as well as the autographs and relics.
Awesome set, didn't know of its existince...might be another set for my "to chase" list !
