This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 3/21/2019
Presented here is a genuinely rare opportunity to pick up literally hundreds of autographed mostly Topps cards from the 1950s through the 1980s, a lineup that includes more than three dozen Hall of Famers and a host of the great stars and minor stars of the postwar era. The lot begs for a good deal of close examination, revealing significant groupings of important players from numerous vintage Topps issues, along with some additional groupings (115) from the two additions to the baseball card market in 1981, Fleer and Donruss.
