This is an enormous grouping of the popular 1969 Topps Baseball issue that numbers above 1,200 with significant duplication and presents a tremendous launching point on building a complete set, with more than five dozen Hall of Famers, 90 high numbers and a host of Specials included in the mix. The array is largely Very Good to Ex-Mt, with some above and below the range, boasting 26 All-Star cards, 47 League Leaders (including two complete sets), 17 World Series subset cards and a roster that includes many of the biggest names in the game. That translates to cards of Mickey Mantle (a Poor fragment), Henry Aaron (3), Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente and even a Reggie Jackson Rookie.
