This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/19/2020
Presented is an imposing lot of nearly 500 cards from the popular 1959 Topps Baseball issue, an array that turns out to be 51 percent of a complete set, adding in nearly another 200 extras, including multiples of many HOFers, like Aaron, Clemente, Cepeda and the Mays All-Star. The partial set consists of 293/572 cards and is broadly Good to Excellent, with some above and below the range, and the emphasis probably to Very Good. With the duplication considered, there are 86 cards from the difficult High Series, including 34 cards from the All-Star subset, 11 Rookies, 10 Baseball Thrills, 15 Teams and 10 Combination cards.
