Bowman Gum was a Philadelphia-based manufacturer of bubble gum and trading cards in the period surrounding World War II founded by J. Warren Bowman. Originally known as Gum, Inc., it produced a series of cards known as the "Play Ball" sets each year from 1939 to 1941. Production halted after the United States entered the war, and the company did not return to making baseball, football, and other sports-related trading cards until 1948, now under the Bowman name.

For a few years, Bowman was the leading producer of baseball cards, but was overtaken by another company Topps. After a period in which the two fought to sign players to exclusive contracts for their cards, Topps bought out Bowman in 1956. Much later, the Bowman brand was resurrected by Topps in 1989 to use on some of its subsidiary sports card sets. In recent years, the Bowman company has become known for being a top brand in making Rookie Cards.

Donruss produced baseball cards from 1981 to 1998, when then parent company Pinnacle Brands filed for bankruptcy.
Baseball card production resumed in 2001, when then parent company Playoff Corporation acquired the rights to produce baseball cards. They produced cards until 2005, when Major League Baseball (MLB) changed the license criteria for card makers.
From 2007 to 2009, Donruss has released baseball card products featuring players that are no longer under MLB contract.

Well established as a gum and candy company, Fleer followed some of its competitors into the business of selling sports cards. It began by signing baseball star Ted Williams to a contract in 1959 and sold an 80-card set oriented around highlights of his career. Fleer was unable to include other players because another company, Topps, had signed most active baseball players to exclusive contracts.

Williams was nearing the end of his career and retired after the 1960 season. However, Fleer continued to produce baseball cards by featuring Williams with other mostly retired players in a Baseball Greats series. One set was produced in 1960 and a second in 1961. The company did not produce new cards the next year, but continued selling the 1961 set while it focused on signing enough players to produce a set featuring active players in 1963. This 67-card set included a number of stars, including 1962 National League MVP Maury Wills (then holder of the modern record for stolen bases in a season), who had elected to sign with Fleer instead of Topps. Wills and Jimmy Piersall served as player representatives for Fleer, helping to bring others on board. However, Topps still held onto the rights of most players and the set was not particularly successful.

Kellogg's cards (the Xograph Company of Irving, Texas produced the cards, though it was using technology from Visual Panographics of New York)

Kellogg's released a new set of 3D baseball cards - based in part on a 1968 Topps test issue - in April of 1970. This would be the first of what eventually numbered 14 yearly sets (though the '73 set was not 3D)

The 1970 cards were distributed in boxes of Corn Flakes, though in later years they would appear in other specially marked boxes of their cereals

So what's the magic behind these 3D baseball cards Take a cutout of a player and put a blurred background behind him. Then add a transparent plastic layer with ridges over that photo.

1970 thur 1983

Pinnacle Brands was a trading card company from 1988 to 1998. With its first baseball card set called Score, it changed the baseball card industry from the "Big Three" (Donruss, Fleer, Topps) that had been in place for seven years prior. Score's first set used a bold colorful border design (with 110 cards each in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet colored borders, like a rainbow) and was the first major set to have a color mugshot of the player and was the first major set besides 1982 Fleer to have a full color back. The player biographies were by far the most extensive of any major baseball card set of its time. The 1991 and 1992 sets at 893 cards were among the largest card sets of that time.

Pinnacle Brands began production of its first premium quality set, called Pinnacle, in 1991 and used a distinctive black bordered design for its first two years. Another key set, called Select, began the year afterward. Starting in 1997, Pinnacle Brands randomly inserted in its Pinnacle set and other sets the original individual printing plates handsigned by Pinnacle's CEO Jerry Meyer, with eight plates per card (both front and back of the card and in each of the four printing colors; black, cyan, magenta, and yellow). The 1998 printing plates were not signed however. Around this same time, they experimented with the way cards were packaged, selling them in cans (Pinnacle Inside), tin containers (Donruss Preferred), and childproof "blister packs" (several brands).

Citing low profits, Pinnacle Brands went out of business in September 1998 and its brand names and trademarks were sold to Playoff, which then became Donruss Playoff. Donruss Playoff no longer use the Pinnacle brand name but continues to use the Score name on a low end football set produced mostly for the retail market.

The Topps Company, Inc., manufactures chewing gum, candy and collectibles. Based in New York, New York, it is best known as a leading producer of baseball cards

The Topps monopoly on baseball cards was finally broken by a lawsuit that let Fleer and another company, Donruss, enter the market in 1981. In response to the competition, Topps began regularly issuing additional "Traded" sets featuring players who had changed teams since the main set was issued, following up on an idea it had experimented with a few years earlier.

Topps most Popular sets

Tiffany
sets From 1984-1991, Topps released a limited edition version of both their regular and traded sets called "Tiffany" sets. These sets were released in hobby dealer exclusive factory set format only and are identical to the regular cards, but these were printed in Ireland with white cardboard (instead of the then-standard gray cardboard) with a glossy finish on the front.

Compliments of Summer Breeze

Stadium Club
Topps released their first "premium" set in 1991 called Stadium Club. This was the very first major baseball card set to feature glossy UV coating on both sides of the card as well as gold foil stamping on the front and a borderless (or "full-bleed") Kodak photo on the front. The back of the card also featured an image of the player's first Topps card. This set was a major hit at that time with packs costing $5 or more. In 1992, Topps released three different series of Stadium Club cards. There was also a factory set from 1992 in which cards were packaged in a reproduction dome stadium, made of plastic, but this was not the same as the regular 1992 Stadium Club set

Compliments of Summer Breeze

Finest
Topps released their first "super premium" set in 1993 called Topps Finest (or just Finest for short). These were issued in six card packs with 18 packs in a box and 12 boxes per case, and only 4,000 cases were produced. This set was also a major hit with packs costing around $25 at the time. Many hobbyists, however, frowned upon such an expensive set thinking that it was driving the hobby away from younger collectors. Topps also included a Finest All-Star jumbo card (limited to about 1455 of each) in each box (a 4" x 6" version of the All-Star subset) and randomly inserted (1 in 18 packs) a Refractor insert card which was exactly like the regular card but with a rainbow sheen on the front with some of them worth over $1000 at that time. Only 241 of each Refractor were produced and continue to this day to be highly sought after.

Compliments of Summer Breeze

Heritage
In 2001, Topps (for its 50th anniversary) released the Heritage brand for its baseball, football and hockey brand. The novelty was that the brands had modern players with designs from past years. The baseball cards had the design from 1952 for its 2001 selection of Heritage baseball cards, 1953 design for 2002, 1954 design for 2003, and so on. Bowman Heritage was also started in 2001 and used the following throwback designs:

The Upper Deck Company founded in 1988, is a private company primarily known for producing trading cards.

In the 1989 Upper Deck baseball set, Ken Griffey, Jr. was selected to be featured on card number one. The decision to make Griffey, Jr. the first card was reached in late 1988.

The 1990 set included the industry's first randomly inserted personally autographed and numbered cards of sports superstars. All Upper Deck brands bear an exclusive trademark hologram, and Upper Deck has been named "Card set of the Year" every year since 1989, ranked number one, and earned favorite brand status with card collectors.

Upper Deck was also the first to insert swatches of game-used material into cards when it made jersey cards in 1997 UD Basketball. The insert set was called Game Jersey and a similar set followed in baseball the next year, where UD cut up game-used jerseys of Ken Griffey, Jr., Tony Gwynn and Rey Ordóñez.

There have always been collectors of baseball cards dating back to the earliest days. Children and youth were avid collectors and traders of the cards during the postwar period, but generally made no effort to keep the cards in good condition, storing them in shoe boxes and sometimes using them as noisemakers in the spokes of their bicycle wheels. It was in the nostalgia-driven boom of the 1980s that a mass market of adult collectors developed, leading to the mature collectibles market for cards that exists today.

There are several cards and sets that are so well-known among collectors that they are almost iconic in nature. 1952 Topps set (and particularly the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card) and the 1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey, Jr. card being chief among them. The most valuable known baseball card is a 1909 T206 Honus Wagner.

During most of their history, baseball cards were produced as a single, unitary set of cards, with all cards in a given set having the same design. Over the past two decades as competition in the market has increased, manufacturers have introduced a variety of type of cards to attract collectors.

Each set released may feature some or all of the following types of cards:

Base Set: These are the basic cards that make up the set. The number of base cards can range from 500 or more in regular and some premium sets to fewer than 100 in the more expensive sets. In some instances the base set may contain certain cards that are short printed, making them more of a challenge to collect.

Subsets: These are cards that are included as part of the base set, but which have a special characteristics. Examples of subsets would be the "Diamond Kings" in older Donruss sets, or the "League Leader" cards that Topps often includes in its basic set. Subsets are usually included in packs at the same rate as other cards in the basic set.

Parallel cards: Cards which have the same basic design as a base card, but have some variation in a design element that distinguishes it. For example, a company may issue a parallel set that features a different color border than the regular base card.

Inserts: Smaller sets of cards that are seeded into packs at scarcer levels than the regular card sets. Insert sets have a distinct design and usually number between 10-20 cards. Both parallels and inserts are inserted into packs at a specified ratio. A 1:24 ratio, for example, means that on average one of every 24 packs will contain a card from that insert set.

Memorabilia cards: A special type of insert card that is either autographed by the player or contains a piece of uniform or equipment used by the player in a Major League game, such as a piece of a bat, jersey or cap. These are usually the rarest cards, and are often highly prized by collectors.

Serially numbered cards: Parallels, inserts, memorabilia cards, and even subsets may be serially numbered, meaning that only a limited number of the cards were produced and each card is numbered sequentially. The serial number of the card is stamped onto the card itself. For example, some sets have all the rookie cards serially numbered, so that the first card is 1 of 500, the second is 2 of 500, etc.

In addition, cards sometimes have certain characteristics that make them more or less valuable to collectors.

Rookie card: Which is usually the most valuable regular-issue card for that player.

Short Prints: Produced in smaller numbers than other cards in the set), which often makes them more valuable than basic cards.

Error cards: Are those that were printed with some error or misprint on them. These may or may not be more valuable than a regular card, depending on whether (and how soon) the error was corrected and collector interest in the particular mistake.

Star players: Are more valuable than cards of average players.

Commons: Cards that are not of star or semi-star players are the lowest-priced cards in a given set, and are of interest mainly to collectors who have a specific interest in that player or are trying to build a complete set.

Mint: Four sharp corners; Near perfect 60/40 or better centering of picture within border; Smooth edges; Original color border & gloss.

About Mint: 65/35 or better centering; May have one of the following flaws: Slightly fuzzy corners; Slightly rough edges; Minor border discoloration; Print spots color or focus imperfections.

Extremely Good: Centering 75/25 or better; A touch of notching or a corner ding; May have: Poor gloss; Poor focus; Significant print spots.

Very Good: Centering 80/20 or better; Rounded corners; Slight layering, chipping or notches on edges; May have: Minor scuffing; Hairline crease.

Good: Well worn or abused; Badly rounded, layered corners, scuffing; Some lack of original coloring; Significant crease.

Errors are plentiful in every set but are of much interest only if they have been corrected in a later print run. The distinction between variations and printing differences can be a bit more complicated. If a card is changed in the print set-up so that cards are printed using an altered negative or plate, you have a true “variation.” For example, the 1954 Bowman No. 66 Williams and Piersall are variations, as are the Bolling and Johnson boys, and the copyright/no copyright 1950 Bowmans. In 1952 Topps double-printed Mickey Mantle, Jackie Robinson and Bobby Thomson on the same high-numbered sheets. Among other small differences, the stitches on the ball containing the number on the back of the double-printed cards either point to the right or to the left. The two (slightly) different cards of each player are considered variations even though the print set-up was never altered.

The printing process is never 100 percent consistent and a host of small things can cause differences in cards produced from the same plate. Usually ink sources add one color at a time, starting with black, cyan (blue), magenta (red) and yellow. If any of these get goofed up the result can be streaks, lines, one or more faint colors or out of register printing. You’ve got ink, plates, rollers, blankets, paper and people all possibly adversely affecting the finished product. If every such “printing difference” were collected, a master set might have endless “varieties” of printing differences. It is probably more amazing to find any two cards that are truly identical as opposed to finding two cards that differ.
