This is an unusual grouping of primarily 1965-67 Topps baseball, an array loaded with mostly collector-grade Hall of Famers, stars and specials, often featuring some of the key cards from the iconic mid-1960s Topps sets. With names like Mantle, Koufax, Clemente, Rose, Gibson, Banks and Campanella, along with dozens of others, the lot represents a rare opportunity to pick up many of the most-coveted cards of the decade in one fell swoop. There's also a dozen or so earlier cards, including a T206 Ungloub, 1933 Goudey Wesley Ferrell, three Double Play singles with writing/paper loss, two 1940 Play Ball commons in Poor condition and 10 1955 Bowman commons in low grade. Two key cards from the fabled 1961 issue have been slabbed: Mays – PSA 4 and Koufax – PSA 3. In the listing that follows, the cards shown are the player’s regular-issue Topps card unless otherwise indicated.
