This is a really neat example of one of the charming peripheral sets from the 1960s, the oddly-numbered 1961 Nu-Card Baseball issue that chronicled six decades of major league history with traditional-sized cards with a newspaper-style format and spot red color added as a design element. The offered set is in an attractive, mostly Excellent condition, with some below and quite a few cards reaching Ex-Mt or even Near-Mint status. Breakdown of keys (set is numbered from 401-480): No. 403 Mazeroski World Series Homer – Very Good, 404 Mays – Excellent, 416 Maris/Mantle – Ex-Mt, 422 Mantle – VG, 424 Gehrig – Ex, 427 Mays Catch – Ex, 438 DiMaggio Streak – VG-Ex, 439 Ted Williams .406 – Ex, 443 Cobb – Nr-Mt, 447 Ruth 60th – Ex-Mt, 455 Ruth World Series HRs – Nr-Mt, 462 Aaron World Series HR – Nr-Mt, 467 DiMaggio – Ex-Plus, 472 Fox – Evidence of Trim and 477 Mathewson – Ex-Plus.
