This is a nice opportunity to pick up the important 1961 Topps Baseball issue in a nice, collectible grade, basically Excellent to Ex-Mt, with some cards above and below the range, but overall a consistent look and uniform presentation. The grouping has centering that’s fairly typical to the issue; the ever-difficult high numbers probably lean more to the Very Good to Excellent range.
