Collecting Tip Buy vintage cards, especially those cards in NM shape and get them graded by PSA, BGS, SGC, or USA. A common card from 1960 Topps can sell for $20.00 or more if it is graded a PSA 7. I have seen many top quality cards out there still ungraded that could easily fetch a 7 and you could probably pick it up for next to nothing. - tip from www.cowboycards.com
Frequently Asked Question What are parallel sets? Any time the general card design and photo of a player is re-used with a significant shift in technology on the front, the set is known as a parallel set. This means that it parallels or mirrors the look of the regular set, but it is being enhanced. Parallel sets are generally done through various printing technology, different paper stock, additional layers of foil or other items that make the cards look more rich.
These cards can also be crash numbered (Please see What is Crash Numbering? section) to add even more value for collectors.

Glossary Term Full bleed design - This is when the design of the card utilizes the entire 2.5" x 3.5" card area, "bleeding" to the edge of the card. The design incorporates the entire photo all the way to the borders (or edges) of the card.
