Offered here Is a high-grade example of the 1976 Topps Baseball set, along with the 44-card Traded subset at the end, in a sparkling condition of essentially Ex-Mt to Near-Mint, with some cards above and below the range and the emphasis clearly to Near-Mint. About two dozen cards fall below the condition range, most of those to Excellent. The cards clearly trace their roots to vending, with the pronounced “vending bend” elegantly murmuring that herein lies essentially uncirculated cardboard. While there are a few cards falling below the range, the set boasts great color and gloss and super clean card backs, along with generally decent centering, with perhaps 100 or so cards having the kind of centering that might prompt an upgrade, though not all of those would be severe enough to warrant an off-center designation. The 44-card Traded subset at the end is in the same condition range as the broader group. A single card, the No. 46 Dodgers Team card, includes a Walt Alston autograph. The breakdown: No. 1 Aaron Highlight – VG-Ex, 10 Brock – Ex, 19 Brett – Nr-Mt o/c, 55 Perry – Nr-Mt, 95 Brooks Robinson – Nr-Mt, 98 Eckersley – Ex-Mt, 100 Hunter – Ex, 160 Winfield – Nr-Mt, 180 Gossage – Nr-Mt o/c, 230 Yastrzemski – Nr-Mt, 240 Rose – Ex, 250 Jenkins – VG-Ex, 270 Stargell – Nr-Mt o/c, 300 Bench – Ex-Mt o/c, 316 Yount - Ex o/c, 325 Perez – Nr-Mt, 330 Ryan – Nr-Mt, 340 Rice – Ex-Mt, 341 Gehrig All-Star – Ex-Mt, 344 Wagner All-Star – Ex, 345 Ruth All-Star – Ex o/c, 346 Cobb All-Star – VG-Ex, 347 Williams All-Star – Ex-Mt, 355 Carlton – Ex-Mt, 365 Fisk – Ex, 400 Carew – Nr-Mt, 405 Fingers – Nr-Mt o/c, 420 Morgan – Ex, 450 Palmer – Nr-Mt, 480 Schmidt – Ex-Mt, 500 Jackson – Nr-Mt o/c, 520 McCovey – Ex-Mt, 525 Williams – Nr-Mt, 550 Aaron – Nr-Mt o/c, 585 Torre – Ex o/c, 600 Seaver – Nr-Mt, 650 Munson – Nr-Mt and 250 Traded Jenkins – Nr-Mt.
