Here is a rare chance to virtually travel back in time 40 years and pick up two complete Topps baseball issues in essentially the same condition as when they rolled off the presses. Here are both the regular-sized 1975 Topps Baseball set and its mini counterpart, found here in blazing Near-Mint to Nr-Mt to Mint condition with only a handful below, almost unimprovable and boasting nice centering and the vivid background colors and gloss that made the issue one of the key collectibles of the era. These are seemingly uncirculated cards, with razor-sharp corners; a breakdown of the regular-issue keys is provided below and the Minis are a perfect complement, matching or even exceeding the condition parameters and insisting that there is no discernible difference in the condition of the Tier One HOFers and key rookies and the rest of the issue. The breakdown: No. 1 Aaron – Near-Mint, 70 Munson – Nr-Mt, 21 Fingers – Nr-Mt, 30 Blyleven – Nr-Mt, 35 Santo – Nr-Mt, 50 Brooks Robinson – Nr-Mt, 61 Winfield – Nr-Mt, 80 Fisk – Nr-Mt, 100 Stargell – Ex-Mt, 130 Niekro – Nr-Mt, 150 Gibson – Nr-Mt, 180 Morgan – Nr-Mt, 185 Carlton – Ex-Mt, 223 Yount – Nr-Mt, 228 Brett – Nr-Mt, 230 Hunter – Nr-Mt, 260 Bench – Nr-Mt, 280 Yastrzemski – Nr-Mt, 300 Jackson – Nr-Mt o/c, 320 Rose – Ex-Mt o/c, 335 Palmer – Nr-Mt, 370 Seaver – Nr-Mt, 450 McCovey – Nr-Mt, 500 Ryan – Nr-Mt, 530 Perry – Ex-Mt, 540 Brock – Ex-Mt, 545 Williams – Nr-Mt, 560 Perez – Nr-Mt, 565 Torre – Nr-Mt, 580 Frank Robinson – Nr-Mt, 616 Rice – Ex-Mt, 640 Killebrew – Nr-Mt and 660 Aaron – Nr-Mt.
