Presented here is arguably the most attractive baseball card issue that Topps produced in the 1970’s, the 1975 Topps set that boasts the dual-color panels and full-bleed design that makes the cards so particularly condition sensitive to even the slightest nudges. This example is simply stunning in its pristine uniformity, easily Near-Mint to Mint or better, start to finish, with perhaps the only cards falling to Near-Mint doing so because of centering rather than any significant corner wear. There is virtually none of the dreaded chipping that so commonly affects those blazing bright color panels in a near-set accumulation that is seemingly unimprovable, save only for the kind of centering vagaries typically found in pristine arrays such as this (most often from top to bottom). The gloss and vivid colors on the front match nicely with super clean card backs in an offering with no discernible differences in condition between the key Hall of Famers and the lowliest of commons. Quite literally, it seems inconceivable that you could find a superior example of raw cards that look for all the world precisely as they must have when they rolled off the presses 45 years ago. It’s that nice.
