This is an intriguing array of mostly high-grade 1966 Topps Baseball cards, with nearly three dozen PSA slabs heavily weighted to PSA 9, 8 and 7, a group that includes a dozen Hall of Famers, plus a vast raw contingent of more than 300 cards that features 10 more HOFers. In addition, there are important Rookies and a boatload of Specials, with the raw lineup coming in at mostly Excellent, with some Ex-Mt, but certainly a nice complement to an imposing slabbed group with a rough GPA of nearly 7.5. The slabbed group (32) is headlined by a half dozen PSA 9 Mint blazers, PSA 8s of Catfish Hunter, Orlando Cepeda and Juan Marichal, and PSA 7s of Roberto Clemente, Whitey Ford, Pete Rose, Gaylord Perry, Luis Aparicio, Jim Palmer’s Rookie card, Roger Maris and Marichal, plus PSA 6s of Sandy Koufax and Joe Torre, and a BVG 3 example of the key Willie Mays No. 1 card.
