Presented is an attractive example of perhaps the most difficult, condition-sensitive baseball card issue that Topps ever produced, the black-bordered 1971 Topps set that remains one of the true classics for serious collectors. This partial set is focused primarily on the first three series and is in essentially Excellent to Ex-Mt condition, with some above and below the range, including quite a few Near-Mint cards. The offered partial set is missing only six cards from Nos. 1-260, with another 13 cards included from later series, including five World Series subset cards and the Series Four Checklist. The breakdown of keys and condition anomalies: No. 1 Orioles Team – Very Good, 5 Munson – Fair, 20 Jackson – VG, 26 Blyleven Rookie – Excellent-Plus, 45 Hunter – Ex-Mt-Plus, 50 McCovey – VG-Plus, 54 Checklist – VG (mk), 55 Carlton – Good, 61 League Leaders – Good, 100 Rose – VG-Ex,. 117 Simmons Rookie – Ex-Plus, 140 Perry – Ex-Plus o/c, 160 Seaver – Ex-Plus, 180 Kaline – Ex, 183 Hodges – Good, 194 – Good, 210 Carew – Good, 230 Stargell – Ex-Plus,. 239 Schoendienst – VG-Plus, 248 Wilhelm – VG and 250 Bench – VG-Plus.
