For someone looking to upgrade even the nicest 1969 Topps Baseball set or launch on building a super condition set, this stunning lot provides a great opportunity, with an array of essentially Near-Mint to Near-Mint-to-Mint marvels, with the emphasis to the upper end of the range and with many of the top Hall of Famers included in the mix and no discernible difference in condition between the biggest stars and the rest of the broader group. The lineup includes 30 Hall of Famers, many of which have been broken out of third-party slabs – most typically PSA – with the labels included with the cards, and which offers a nice glimpse into the above described condition range.
