Bidding

From one of the great photographic issues from the decade comes this really nice condition set from 1963 Topps, an offering with an uncommonly broad range of condition – essentially Very Good to Nr-Mt – but with some truly blazing, pristine examples and a nice clean overall presentation. While the condition range is wider than normal, the emphasis is to the upper end of the range, with superb photographic images and excellent focus and good gloss on the cards, along with minimal chipping of the condition-sensitive color panels on the front. Along with the listings of the stars and HOFers in the breakdown, there are also a truly significant number of really clean and sharp Nr-Mt minor stars and commons throughout; the World Series subset is generally Ex to Ex-Mt and the League Leaders cards are mostly Good to Excellent.
