Bidding

This is a really nice array of the popular 1968 Topps Baseball issue, a grouping that features more than two dozen Hall of Famers – including some of the key cards to the set – found here in broadly Excellent to Near-Mint condition, with some below and the emphasis to Ex-Mt. That condition range applies primarily to Series 1-6; Series 7 cards actually improve a bit, mostly to Near-Mint. Six of seven Checklist cards are included in the mix in conditions that conform to the broader range, but Series 6 and 7 cards have been marked. In the All-Star subset, condition declines a bit, closer to Excellent to Ex-Mt and the emphasis to the lower end of the spectrum. A listing of the 64 missing numbers appears at the end of this entry. Here’s the breakdown, with condition listed for anomalies outside the Ex to Nr-Mt range and for HOFers and keys: No. 1 League Leader – Ex-Mt, 2 League Leader – Ex-Mt, 3 League Leader – Ex-Mt, 4 League Leader – VG-Ex, 5 League Leader – Ex-Mt, 6 League Leader – Ex-Mt, 7 League Leader – Very Good, 20 Brooks Robinson – Ex-Mt, 27 Hodges – Ex-Mt, 30 Torre – Ex-Mt, 37 Williams – Excellent, 86 Stargell – Ex, 110 Aaron – Ex-Mt-Plus, 145 Drysdale – Ex-Mt, 150 Clemente – Ex-Mt, 200 Cepeda – VG, 205 Marichal – Near-Mint, 220 KIllebrew – Ex-Mt, 235 Santo – Ex, 240 Kaline – Ex-Plus, 250 Yastrzemski – Ex-Mt, 257 Niekro – Ex, 290 McCovey – Nr-Mt o/c, 294 Schoendienst – Ex-Mt, 310 Aparicio – Ex-Mt, 321 Durocher – Good, 350 Wilhelm – Ex-Mt, 355 Banks – Ex, 369 Yastrzemski All-Star – Ex-Mt o/c, 373 Frank Robinson All-Star – Ex-Mt-Plus, 374 Clemente All-Star – Ex-Mt o/c, 385 Hunter – Ex-Mt, 390 Mazeroski – VG, 408 Carlton – Ex-Mt, 410 Jenkins – Ex-Mt-Plus, 490 Super Stars – Ex, 520 Brock – Ex, 528 Tigers Team – VG-Ex and 575 Palmer – Ex.
