1960 Nu-Card Baseball Hi-Lites (Revisited)

I have four 1960 Nu-Card Baseball Hi-Lites cards in my collection. They are about the size of postcards and a decent card stock. I actually did a post about these back in 2009 (link at bottom of this post) which was then cross-posted to "Things Done With Cards."

So, if I already talked about these back in 2009, why bring them back out?  Well, in this post, I wanted to show all the cards I have in this set. In the other posts, I just showed off one or two.

As you can see, I have "Indians Take Bums," "Bob Feller Hurls 3rd No-Hitter of Career," "Colavito Hits Four Homers in One Game," and "Early Wynn Victory Crushes Yanks."


Here we have another example of non-Indians cards in my collection. The Early Wynn actually comes from his days with the Sox. So, why is it in my collection? To the best of my recollection, I bought the cards off eBay as a set and I believe they were sold as an Indians set. Honestly, until I scanned them in here for this post, I didn't even realize that Wynn wasn't in a Tribe uniform! Shows how observant I am, eh.

I did not show the backs of the cards in the other post. The backs feature a trivia question witht he answer printed upside down.


There were 72 cards in the whole set, and the checklist for them can be found here:

1960 Nu-Card Baseball Hi-Lites

I decided I would highlight (get it, HIghLIghT(es)) a few cards I have from the 1960 Nu-Card Baseball Hi-Lites set. I am pretty sure these came from an eBay purchase, but I could not tell you when.

Card #6 features an unassisted triple play by Bill Wambsganss ("Wamby" and yeah, YOU say his name...) in the 1920 World Series!

Another card I have features Bob Feller hurling his 3rd career no-hitter:


These cards are about the size of postcards and some of the cooler oddballs I have in my collection. The back of each card has a trivia question.

I also have a Rocky Colavito and an Early Wynn, but those (along with a scan of the back of one card and a checklist) are featured over on "Things Done to Cards."
