Here is an essentially Excellent to Near-Mint example of the 1975 issue, with perhaps three or four dozen cards falling below the overall range and perhaps as much as 50 percent earning a nod to the upper end of the scale at Near-Mint. The cards have nice gloss and fairly typical centering, including a handful of diamond cuts, and minimal chipping of the ultra-sensitive color-bleed borders.
Here is a breakdown of the keys: No. 1 Aaron – Good, 20 Munson – Ex-Mt, 50 Brooks Robinson – Nr-Mt, 61 Winfield – Nr-Mt, 70 Schmidt – Ex-Mt, 80 Fisk – Excellent, 100 Stargell – Good, 140 Garvey – Nr-Mt, 150 Gibson – Ex-Mt, 185 Carlton – Ex-Mt, 194 Mantle 1956 MVP – Excellent, 195 Mantle 1957 MVP – Nr-Mt, 200 Mantle 1962 MVP – Nr-Mt, 223 Yount rookie – Excellent, 228 Brett rookie – Excellent, 257 Checklist – Poor (marked), 260 Bench – Nr-Mt, 280 Yastrzemski – Nr-Mt, 300 Reggie Jackson – Ex-Mt, 320 Rose – Good, 370 Seaver – Excellent, 450 McCovey – Nr-Mt o/c, 500 Ryan – Excellent, 517 Checklist – Poor (marked), 531 Reds Team – Poor, 540 Brock – Good, 561 A’s Team – Good, 580 Frank Robinson – Excellent (diamond cut), 589 Braves Team – Poor, 600 Carew – Very Good, 611 Yankees Team – Poor, 620 Carter rookie – Very Good, 631 Cubs Team – Poor, and 660 Aaron – Very Good.
