Truly an extraordinary grouping of high-grade cards from the popular 1970 Topps Football issue, all graded by PSA and including an imposing number of Hall of Famers, major stars and checklists. With nearly three dozen reaching blazing PSA 9 Mint status, the array is among the most startling in recent memory. All 34 of the PSA 9 Mint cards and all five of the PSA 8 Nr-Mt to Mt cards carry the O/C qualifier, though in many cases the centering variance is far from jarring and merely reflects the stringent PSA 9 requirements. Here’s the breakdown: PSA 9 Mint (34) – 1 Dawson, 3, 17, 19 (2), 21, 23, 32, 37, 50, 56, 59 Page, 61, 69, 75 Barney (2), 78, 81 (2), 87 Lilly, 89, 94, 102 (3), 104, 106 (2), 109, 110, 131 and 132 Checklist (2); PSA 8 Nr-Mt to Mt (5) – 10 Griese, 30 Starr, 59 Page, 90 Simpson and 132 Checklist; PSA 6 Ex-Mt (17) – 17, 18, 20 Kelly (2), 27, 29, 38, 52, 55 Nitschke, 61, 70 Sayers,, 82 (2), 90 Simpson, 104, 113, and 132 Checklist.
