This collection of 640 signed 1975 Topps cards is even more amazing than it sounds. Keep in mind that many of the cards have more than one player, with many of those cards signed by each player appearing. This includes the coveted MVP subset, which alone includes the following cards signed by both players: Roger Maris/Frank Robinson, Mickey Mantle/Hank Aaron (full PSA/DNA letter), Elston Howard/Sandy Koufax, Roger Maris/Dick Groat, Brooks Robinson/Ken Boyer and Nellie Fox/Ernie Banks (slabbed by PSA/DNA). Also, there are signed rookie cards of Robin Yount, Jim Rice, Gary Carter and Keith Hernandez. Other highlights include: Bob Moose (d. 10/9/76), Danny Thompson (d. 12/10/76), Tony Solaita (d. 1990), Vicente Romo, Billy Martin, Mike Marshall (2)Frank Robinson (3), Rod Carew (2), Tug McGraw, Steve Carlton (2), Harmon Killebrew, Lou Brock (3), Nolan Ryan (2), Tom Seaver, Yogi Berra (3), Bob Gibson (2), Walt Alston, Bobby Murcer, Reggie Jackson (2), Al Kaline, Dave Winfield, Jim Hunter (3), Pete Rose (2), Carlton Fisk, Mike Schmidt (2), Ernie Banks (2), Johnny Bench (4), Carl Yastrzemski (2), Gene Mauch, Joe Morgan, Earl Weaver, Rollie Fingers, Willie Stargell, Willie McCovey, Brooks Robinson and so much more. Many of the players in the set are deceased so there’s no way to put together one of these at this point in time. It’s one of the most complete 1975 Topps set in the hobby, with biggest notable exception being Thurman Munson. All signatures are pre-certified by PSA/DNA. Other missing singles include: 1, 3, 12, 20, 46, 68, 70, 85, 114, 126, 192, 194, 200, 203, 207, 212, 216, 228, 237, 257, 304, 313, 343, 386, 407, 427, 446, 455, 461, 462, 465, 466, 517, 521, 573, 579, 646 and 660.
