This is a really nice grouping of the 1968 Topps Baseball issue representing roughly 40 percent of a complete set and including 16 Hall of Famers and about four dozen of the difficult high numbers. The condition range is broadly Excellent to Ex-Mt, with the emphasis to the upper end of the scale and a few below Excellent. About 1/3 of the array has the kind of centering that might prompt an upgrade, though not all of those would be severe enough to dictate an off-center designation. In addition to the 16 Hall of Famers, there are five League Leader cards, five All-Stars, three World Series cards, three Teams and three Checklists. A single card has been slabbed: No. 371 Tony Oliva All-Star – PSA 5.5. The breakdown: No. 1 League Leader – VG, 2 League Leader – VG-Ex, 45 Seaver – VG, 58 Mathews – Ex m/c, 80 Carew – Ex, ;85 Perry – Ex-Mt, 99 Colavito – VG-Ex, 103 Sutton – Ex-Mt, 130 Perez – Ex-Mt o/c, 205 Marichal – Ex, 215 Bunning – Ex-Plus, 220 Killebrew – VG, 310 Aparicio – Ex-Mt o/c, 365 Brock All-Star – Ex, 385 Hunter – VG, 390 Mazeroski – Good and 575 Palmer – Nr-Mt o/c.
