Presented is a genuinely eclectic and valuable three-sport card lot of nearly four dozen popular vintage cards, an array dominated by some of the coveted Topps baseball cards from the 1950s and 1960s, including a multitude of Hall of Famers and major stars and joined by some iconic Topps football cards from the same era. The group is in really outstanding condition, often Ex-Mt to Near-Mint, headlined by three key Willie Mays cards, two Yastrzemski's, Banks, Rizzuto, two Fords, Hodges, Marichal and a 1971 Topps Blyleven Rookie. The football group is headlined by a nifty pair of 1959 Topps cards of Bart Starr and Sam Huff. As we noted, it’s an eclectic aggregation, so there’s a few cards from outside the Topps/Bowman realm.
