One of the ultimate Topps sets, the high number run makes these so desirable. The offered lot is a respectable mid-grade set. Likely from the original owner, several cards still have the original wax on the front. The basic set varies a good bit, it is typical in that the commons and secondary stars are much nicer than the key cards. We feel the basic set averages Ex Plus overall, but there is definite variance and the run could benefit from some TLC. The vital high number run is a pretty solid Ex-Mt overall with many really nice cards, but also mild variance. A very desirable set with a lot going for it, we rate the key cards as follows: 45 Maris VG-Ex/Ex, 146 Carlton Ex, 150 Mantle VG-Ex/Ex (well ctd, no creases, could be a 5 on the right day), 200 Mays VG+, 250 Aaron VG-Ex/Ex, 355 Yaz Ex mc, 400 Clemente GVG, 430 Rose Ex+, 460 Killebrew Ex-Mt, 475 Palmer Ex+, 476 Perez SP Ex-Mt, 536 Niekro RC Ex-Mt, 540 Cash NM, 558 Belanger RC Ex-Mt, 569 Carew RC VG-Ex/Ex (fairly well ctd, no creases, could be a 5 on the right day), 570 Wills Ex++, 580 Colavito NM, 581 Seaver RC PSA 4, 600 B. Robinson VG-Ex/Ex, 604 Red Sox Team VG+, 605 Shannon Ex, 607 Stanley Ex-Mt, 609 John GVG,
