Bidding

This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 3/19/2020

This is a nice presentation of 1973 Topps Baseball, a grouping that represents about 85 percent of a complete set and includes almost three dozen Hall of Famers in the mix, including many of the greatest stars of the era. The partial set is broadly Excellent to Near-Mint, with some below, mostly to Very Good and a few Good. Even though the grouping has a somewhat wider condition range than is typically encountered with this issue in older collections, it still provides a nice consistent presentation, with the emphasis to Ex-Mt. A listing of the 100 missing numbers appears at the end of this entry.
