Few sports card issues are dominated by a single Rookie card in the fashion of the legendary Jim Brown, whose No. 62 is found here in a PSA 3.5 holder. The classic 1958 Topps issue, a coveted, colorful issue that neatly mirrors the design of the 1959 Topps Baseball set, is presented here in a condition pretty evenly divided between Very Good, VG-Ex, Excellent and Ex-Mt, with a couple of cards above the range to Near-Mint and only a dozen below, mostly to Good. It comes out to 25 percent Ex-Mt, 23 percent Excellent, 27 percent VG-Ex and 13 percent Very Good. There are duplicates for 11 cards, including No. 129 Blanda.
