Presented is a nice, collectible example of the colorful 1965 Topps Baseball issue, a near set missing a single card (Richie Allen) and featuring four of the keys neatly housed in PSA slabs. The overall near set is basically Very Good to Excellent, with some above and below, and actually improves a bit in later series, with more Ex-Mt cards turning up and even some Near-Mint examples. About three dozen cards fall below the range to Good and a handful to Fair. The four slabbed cards: No. 207 Rose – PSA 6, No. 350 Mantle – PSA 4, No. 470 Berra – PSA 8 and No. 510 Banks – PSA 7.
