Offered is the complete 1999 Topps Baseball complete set, found in the same condition as when it rolled off the presses more than 20 years ago, but further enhanced by the addition of the one dozen difficult insert sets that accompanied the base set. Everything is a blazing Near-Mint to Mint or better. Inserted in packs at varying rates, compiling a complete master set like this is a Herculean challenge, particularly in an issue that chronicles the extraordinary homerun battle between Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa in the 1998 campaign. The elegant, gold-bordered base set is complete at 462 cards; a detailed listing of the dozen insert sets is featured below. The breakdown: 1) Mark McGwire HR Record (70), 2) Sammy Sosa HR Parade (66), 3) Nolan Ryan Reprints (27, plus Chomes from 1968, 1970 and 1981), 4) Hall of Fame Collection (10), 5) Club 40 (13), 6) 1999 Rookie (10), 7) Club K (7), 8) Record Numbers (10), 9) Lords of the Diamond (15), 10) New Breed (15), 11) 3-5s (26), and 12) Picture Perfect (10).
