Lot #254 1965 Topps Complete Set Cond: Ex-Mt

A popular set with a great design, the offered set is quite nice overall and has a lot going for it. As with so many vintage sets, the key cards are a grade below the rest of the set. With that clearly disclosed, this set is just loaded with really clean, sharp and well centered cards. There are a fair number of Near Mint cards, the centering is not perfect but quite good for a 65 Topps. The set looks to be 70% or so Ex-Mt or better to our eyes, some cards are sharp but have a very minute crease, nick or other flaw but display well.If someone wants to clean this up into a high grade set, this would seem to be a very manageable project to our eyes. Nothing has been picked for slabbing, we rate the many key cards as follows: 3 Killebrew/Mantle LL NM, 16 Morgan RC Ex-Mt+, 134 Mantle WS Ex+, 155 Maris Ex++, 160 Clemente Ex-Mt, 170 Aaron VG-Ex/Ex, 207 Rose Ex, 250 Mays VG-Ex/Ex, 300 Koufax NM, 320 Gibson Ex++, 350 Mantle VG-Ex/Ex, 385 Yastrzemski Ex, 400 Killebrew NM, 461 Carroll/Niekro VG-Ex/Ex, 470 Berra Ex-Mt+, 477 Carlton RC Ex-Mt, 510 Banks Ex++, 526 Hunter RC VG+, 540 Brock NM+, 581 Perez RC Ex-Mt,
