This is a nice example of the important 1966 Topps Baseball issue, a colorful and elegantly designed offering that has long been a popular choice for vintage collectors. The example tendered here is probably a broader condition range than might be typically found, essentially Very Good to Excellent to Mint, with some above and below and the emphasis probably to Excellent. This example has nice color and photo registration and is a good representation of a key issue from the era. The No. 50 Mickey Mantle card has been third-party entombed and blessed, earning an SGC 40 nod.
