March 21, 2019: Sports & Americana Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 3/21/2019
This is a truly remarkable accumulation of pristine 1967 Topps Baseball cards, a blazing array of Near-Mint to Mint monsters, with HOFers, stars, high numbers and commons, and even a stunning handful of PSA-graded wonders that offer a nice glimpse into the broader condition range. While PSA-slabbed cards grab the spotlight by virtue of their official entombment, it’s a matching number of knockout Hall of Famers that also elbow their way to center stage. That roster includes No. 70 Ron Santo, No. 166 Eddie Mathews, No. 210 Bob Gibson, No. 355 Carl Yastrzemski and No. 456 Phil Niekro. They are joined by five other raw beauties: No. 50 Tony Oliva, No. 191 Checklist (Mays), No. 228 Gil Hodges, No. 326 Bob Uecker and No. 573 White Sox Team card. The five slabbed: No. 93 Yankees Rookies/Murcer – PSA 8, No. 340 Joe Pepitone – PSA 9, No. 411 Dick Howser – PSA 9, No. 419 Don Kessinger – PSA 8.5 and No. 455 Tommie Agee – PSA 8.5. Toss in another seven dozen stars, minor stars and specials (listed below), and you see why this is a lot (with no duplication) that demands attention from a number of different directions. Whether filling out an existing high-grade 1967 set or upgrading even the snappiest of pristine efforts, the lot provides a unique opportunity to find these classic cards in a condition that simply can't be topped. Breakdown of other stars, minor stars, specials and commons: Near-Mint to Mint or Better (84): No. 6, 15, 16, 19, 22, 27, 29, 31, 39, 47, 58, 59, 61, 67, 81, 87, 90, 107,113, 115, 116, 119, 124, 127, 128, 137, 144, 148, 156, 158, 160, 164, 168, 171, 172, 182, 205, 208, 209, 211, 212, 214, 221, 224, 226, 231, 248, 252, 258, 259, 262, 270, 286, 289, 296, 298, 328, 338, 341, 343, 344, 368, 397, 398, 406, 410, 416, 441, 448, 453, 459, 468, 520, 532, 542, 543, 564, 566, 582, 588, 598, 599, 603 and 606.
