Presented here is a very impressive example of the 1970 Topps Baseball issue in a binder, found here in a uniform, mostly Ex-Mt to Near-Mint condition, with some below and the emphasis to the upper end of the spectrum. This is a nice representation of the iconic “Grey Lady,” the company’s largest-ever issue to that date and a popular starting point for a generation of collectors, in this instance with a solid condition pedigree with nice, sharp colors and gloss and a uniform presentation.
