This is a particularly striking array of vintage Topps baseball cards from the 1960s and 1970s featuring most of the biggest stars of the postwar era, a lineup that includes the likes of Henry Aaron, Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Sandy Koufax and Roberto Clemente, to name a few. The group is largely in collector-grade condition but heralds a pedigree so significant that it represents a genuine opportunity to pick up two dozen iconic cards.
