Presented here is a highly collectible complete set of arguably the most attractive baseball card issue that Topps produced in the 1970’s, the 1975 Topps set that boasts the dual-color panels and full-bleed design that makes the cards so particularly condition sensitive to even the slightest nudges. This example is an attractive, basically Ex-Mt to Near-Mint condition, with some above and below the range (quite a few Excellent and a couple dozen Very Good) and the emphasis to the upper end of the scale. It boasts an outstanding, consistent look, with vivid colors and great gloss. Several dozen cards have the “Diamond Cut,” orientation, though many of those would be quite slight and barely detract from the presentation. The breakdown of keys and condition anomalies: No. 1 Aaron Highlight – Good, 5 Ryan Highlight – Ex-Mt-Plus, 20 Munson – Near-Mint, 50 Brooks Robinson – Ex-Mt-Plus, 70 Schmidt – Ex-Mt-Plus, 80 Fisk – VG-Ex, 100 Stargell – VG-Ex, 195 Aaron/Mantle MVP – VG-Ex, 223 Yount Rookie – Ex-Mt, 228 Brett Rookie – Very Good-Plus, 250 Bench – Excellent-Plus, 260 Yastrzemski – Ex-Plus (Diamond Cut), 320 Rose – VG-Plus (Diamond Cut), 370 Seaver – Ex-Mt, 500 Ryan – VG-Plus, 545 Williams – Ex-Mt o/c, 540 Brock – Ex-Plus, 560 Perez – VG-Ex (Diamond Cut), 565 Torre – Ex-Mt (Diamond Cut), 580 Frank Robinson – VG, 600 Carew – Ex-Mt-Plus o/c, 616 Rice Rookie – VG-Plus, 620 Carter Rookie – VG, 640 Killebrew – Ex-Mt-Plus (Diamond Cut) and 660 Aaron – VG-Plus.
