Here is an opportunity to pick up four complete sets from the closing years of the Topps monopoly in the baseball card business, four of the last five years with Topps as the sole producer of trading cards before the arrival of Donruss and Fleer in 1981. The four sets are essentially Near-Mint to Near-Mint to Mint, with the emphasis to the upper end of the spectrum, with great color and gloss and in several instances the clearly visible “vending bend” that elegantly trumpets the presence of uncirculated cards. The breakdown: 1976 (660) – No. 1 Aaron Record Breaker – Near-Mint (back is o/c), 20 Brett – Nr-Mt-Plus, 98 Eckersley Rookie – Nr-Mt, 240 Rose – Nr-Mt-Plus, 330 Ryan – Nr-Mt-Plus and 550 Aaron – Nr-Mt; 1977 (660) – No. 170 Munson – Nr-Mt to Mt, 473 Dawson Rookie – Mr-Mt-Plus, 476 Murphy Rookie – Nr-Mt to Mt and 650 Ryan – Nr-Mt; 1978 (726) – No. 36 Murray Rookie – Nr-Mt, 100 Brett – Nr-Mt to Mt, 200 Jackson – Ex-Mt-Plus, 400 Ryan – Nr-Mt o/c, 703 Morris Rookie – Ex-Mt-Plus and 707 Molitor/Trammell Rookie – Nr-Mt; 1980 (726) – No. 482 Henderson Rookie – Nr-Mt to Mt and 580 Ryan – Nr-Mt to Mt.
