Truly and extraordinary grouping of essentially Nr-Mt to Mt cards, a massive array from more than two decades, absolutely uniform and consistent with good gloss, photo registration and blazing colors and seeming uncirculated feel. Each year includes literally dozens of Hall of Famers, stars and specials, with a sampling of keys listed below, and given the huge numbers involved, obviously considerable multiples of many commons, stars and even Hall of Famer cards. It’s simply a unique opportunity to pick up a huge array of vintage Topps football cards in a uniform and consistent grade that doesn’t noticeably vary from the earliest year in 1975 to the early 1990’s.
