This is a nice grouping of the popular early 1960’s Topps baseball issue, a mostly Good to Very Good array with some above and below the range, that includes more than a dozen Hall of Famers and twice that number of All-Stars, stars and Specials among its rank. The Specials roster includes three cards from the Babe Ruth subset, five Checklists, five League Leaders, two World Series subset cards, six Team cards and eight others. This lot represents a good opportunity to pick up just over half of the complete set and a number of important cards in a set that is notorious for being condition sensitive. The breakdown: No. 21 Kaat – Very Good (mk), 25 Banks – Good, 28 Minoso – Good, 29 Stengel – VG, 30 Mathews – Fair, 40 Cepeda – Excellent, 70 Killebrew – Good, 73 Fox – VG, 199 Perry – Fair, 213 Ashburn – VG-Ex, 217 Alston – Ex-Mt, 218 Torre – Good and 545 Wilhelm – Fair. Minor stars and All-Stars: Adcock, Allison, Felipe Alou, Blanchard, Boyer, Brosnan, Bruton, Buhl, Burdette, Callison, Chance, Colavito, Conley, Crandall, Davenport, Willie Davis, Ellsworth, Grant, Groat, Haddix, Herzog, Lemon, Long, Malzone, McCarver, Moon, Neal, Pappas, Piersall, Pinson, Post, Powell, Richardson, Romano, Roseboro, Shantz, Sievers, Skowron, Taylor, Thomas, Tresh, Vernon and White.
