The Topps Baseball set from 1960 stands as their last full horizontal set and one of the most colorful ever produced. It's also the first set I actively 'chased' as a young collector. I hope you will enjoy checking out these great cards as much as I will enjoy posting them. Please leave a comment or criticism if you feel the need.

#553 Bill Skowron Sport Magazine All Star
Bill Skowron Sport Magazine '60 All Star Selection
As an All Star: Skowron was a four time All Star as a Yankee. He was selected as the starting first baseman for four straight years beginning in 1957. He was 6 for 14 with a double over his five games.
In the '60 ASGs: He started both games at 1B for the AL going 2 for 4 with a pair of singles and a walk.
The Card: Another nice Jack Davis cartoon. Interesting that Topps references the Yankees as 'falling apart' in 1959.
