Offered here is a very handsome example of the classic 1960 Topps Football issue, a highly coveted vintage set that is found here in a very consistent mostly Excellent to Mint condition, with some cards reaching Near-Mint and a few below. The key Hall of Famers and stars fall within the broader condition range; around three dozen cards have centering that might prompt an upgrade, though not all would be off center enough to affix that designation. Here’s a breakdown of the keys: No. 1 Unitas – Ex-Mt, 2 Ameche – presents Ex, but has a pen mark on the back, 3 Moore – Ex, 4 – Berry – Ex-Mt, 5 Parker – Ex, 10 Lipscomb – Ex, 23 – Brown – Ex-Mt, 25 Mitchell – Ex-Mt, 31 Browns Team – Ex, 46 Schmidt – Ex-Mt, 49 – Ex, 51 Starr – Ex-Mt o/c, 52 Taylor – Nr-Mt o/c, 54 Hornung – Nr-Mt o/c, 55 – Ex, 56 Gregg – Ex-Mt, 59 – Ex, 63 Matson – Ex-Mt o/c, 71 Rams Team – Ex, 73 – Ex, 74 Gifford – Good, 80 Huff – Ex-Mt, 93 Layne – Ex, 109 – VG-Ex, 113 Tittle – Ex-Mt, 116 McElhenny – Ex-Mt, 121 Nomellini – Ex-Mt, and 132 Redskins – Ex-Mt.
