This is a great opportunity to pick up a complete set of the popular 1968 Topps Baseball issue in an attractive Excellent to Near-Mint condition, with some of the keys below but the emphasis to the upper end of the scale. It’s particularly noteworthy to find this issue in better grades, since the quirky “burlap” borders from 1968 make this one of the true condition-sensitive offerings of the era. The No. 540 Brock card is found in a GMA 5.5 holder.
