Offered is a spectacular 1974 Topps Baseball complete set and the accompanying 44-card Traded set, found here in a condition that is a crisp and uniform mostly Near-Mint to Mint, with a few Nr-Mt and with the emphasis to the upper end of the spectrum. In an elegant complete set clearly from vending, there is some of the typical centering found from uncirculated Topps cards. This was the first year that Topps produced the entire set at one time rather than by series, perhaps paving the way for the modern factory-style sets that display a startling, essentially as-issued look with superb colors and gloss and wonderful, clean backs. With that kind of lineage, this is an entry that is almost unimprovable, with HOFers and stars offering a nice glimpse into the wider condition range, with no discernible difference between the top stars and commons.
