Presented is a nice collector-grade grouping of the colorful 1959 Topps Baseball issue, with an imposing lineup of Hall of Famers that includes some of the key cards from the set. The offered group is essentially Good to Very Good, with some above to Excellent and a few below, and is headlined by PSA 3 No. 10 Mickey Mantle card, the Mantle and Mays All-Star cards from the High Series and others from Sandy Koufax, Willie Mays, Ernie Banks and Stan Musial, plus almost four dozen cards from the difficult Seventh Series. It’s an array with a bit of duplication, often involving many of the key Hall of Famers and stars. The breakdown (cards are the player’s regular-issue version unless otherwise indicated): No. 10 Mickey Mantle – PSA 3, No. 50 Mays – Fair, No. 150 Musial – Good, No. 163 Koufax – VG, No. 350 Banks (3), No. 461 Mantle Thrill (2), No. 464 Mays Thrill (2), No. 563 Mays All-Star – VG and No. 564 Mantle All-Star – VG, plus Bunning, Slaughter, Hodges, Ashburn (2), Aparicio, Anderson Rookie, Roberts (2), Cepeda, Ford (4), Frank Robinson, and 21 Baseball Thrills, 45 High Numbers (including 16 All-Stars) and seven (7) Team cards, including the Yankees and Dodgers.
