This is a very impressive grouping of 1960 and 1962 Topps Baseball cards, an array that is essentially Excellent to Ex-Mt, with some above and below. The 1960 Topps lineup features a number of specials, including about a dozen Rookies and 10 of the Coaches cards. This grouping – with some duplication - has perhaps 1/3 or so found with the kind of centering that might prompt thoughts of an upgrade, though not all of those would be severe enough to warrant an official “off center” designation. With the 1962 Topps array, perhaps three dozen or so cards reach above the Ex to Ex-Mt range to Near-Mint in this highly condition-sensitive issue, certainly one of the toughest that the company ever produced with the wood-grain borders that so easily reveal even the slightest bit of wear. The lineup includes seven Hall of Famers, many stars and Rookies and a host of specials, including seven All-Stars, three Baseball Thrills, five Teams, among others, along with 29 cards from the higher-number series. This grouping – with some duplication – also has perhaps 1/3 or so found with the kind of centering that might prompt thoughts of an upgrade, though not all of those would be severe enough to warrant an official “off center” designation. 1960 Topps (191): No. 2, 5 (2), 6, 11, 16, 17, 20-25, 30 (2), 33, 34 Anderson – VG-Ex, 36, 44, 45, 46, 48 (2), 49, 51, 52, 53, 56, 57 Win Savers, 60-62, 69 (2), 77, 78, 79 (2), 81, 84, 87 (2), 88, 91, 94, 96, 104 (2), 107, 108, 115 Fork & Knuckler, 117, 122, 124, 128, 130, 131, 135, 141 (2), 144, 147, 149, 150, 155, 158 (2), 159, 169, 170, 171, 178, 181, 186, 194 (2), 195 (2), 196 (2), 199, 202, 204, 207, 208 White Sox Team, 215, 234, 236, 241, 252, 256, 261, 262, 263, 271, 276, 285, 296 (2), 298, 306, 309, 311, 313 (2), 315, 322, 331, 334, 344, 345, 347, 348, 354, 359, 368, 371, 379, 380, 397, 398, 401, 409, 415, 422, 426, 430 (2), 432, 434, 437, 443, 444, 446 (2), 448 (2), 449, 451, 452 (2), 454, 455 (2), 459 (2), 460, 463, 466, 468, 469, 470, 472 (2), 473 (3), 474, 476, 477, 478 (2), 479 (2), 481 (2), 482, 483, 486 (3), 487, 488, 491 (4), 492 (2), 495 (2), 496, 497 (3), 500, 522 – VG-Ex and 531 – VG. 1962 Topps (210): No. 9, 13, 23, 29 Stengel – Ex-Mt, 33, 34 (2), 35, 41, 42, 46, 47, 57 League Leader, 61 Cardinals Team, 62, 65, 67, 73 Fox – Near-Mint, 74, 76, 77, 78, 80, 82 (2), 109, 111, 114, 116, 117, 118, 121, 128, 130 (2), 149, 154, 155 (2), 161, 166, 167, 180, 183, 197, 198, 201 (2), 202, 203, 215, 217 Alston – Excellent-Plus, 219, 221 (2), 224, 226 Giants Team, 228, 231, 237 World Series, 239, 241, 242, 244, 247, 252 (2), 253, 254, 255, 259, 260, 261, 262 (2), 263 (2), 267, 269 (2), 270, 271, 274, 275 (2), 279, 281, 284, 286 Lopez – Nr-Mt, 290, 292, 293, 294 Phillies Team (2), 296, 297 (2), 299, 301, 302 (2), 303, 305, 306, 308, 311 Thrills, 319 Thrills (2), 322 (2), 324, 326, 328, 330 (2), 332, 333, 334 Red Sox Team, 335, 336, 341, 343, 345, 346, 347, 348 (2), 349 (2), 352, 353 Mazeroski – VG-Ex, 354, 355, 356, 358, 361-365, 367 Checklist, 368, 375, 376, 377, 379, 380, 381, 382 Williams (2) – Nr-Mt, 383, 389, 391 Mazeroski All-Star – Nr-Mt o/c, 392 Boyer All-Star – Nr-Mt, 397 Roseboro All-Star (2) – Nr-Mt and Ex-Mt, 400, 403, 404, 407, 410 (2), 411, 412, 413, 415-418, 420, 421, 422, 424, 428, 431-434, 437, 439 (2), 440, 443, 444, 445, 447-452, 456, 457, 459, 460 Bunning – Nr-Mt o/c, 466 Cash All-Star – Nr-Mt, 467 Schilling All-Star – Nr-Mt, 473 Howard All-Star – Nr-Mt, 480, 491, 495, 502, 504, 507, 508, 510, 514, 517, 521 and 522 (2).
