Presented here is a wonderful example of the popular 1974 Topps Baseball issue, the first year that Topps issued the entire set all at once at the beginning of the year instead of in individual series over the course of the spring and summer, which had been the procedure for more than 20 years. The popular issue is found here in basically Near-Mint condition, with some falling below and providing a handsome, uniform presentation with nice color and gloss, a description that also applies to the 44-card Traded subset that appears at the end of the 660-card regular-issue cards.
