The important and colorful 1958 Topps Baseball issue is offered with a collector-grade pedigree that features a bit wider condition range than is typically encountered in mature collections, broadly Poor to Ex-Mt, with the emphasis probably to Good to Very Good. Also worth noting is the fact that roughly 75 percent of the issue is in Good or better condition. The Hall of Famers and stars are sprinkled throughout the range, but the majority fall within the lower end of the range. Overall, it comes out to 10 percent Ex-Mt (including a half dozen Near-Mint examples), 13 percent Excellent, 23 percent Very Good, 31 percent Good, 16 percent Fair and 7 percent Poor.
