This is a nice partial set of the classic 1958 Topps Baseball issue, loaded with Hall of Famers, All-Stars and Specials and boasting a handsome, consistent presentation, with bright colors and good gloss. Representing almost 78 percent of a complete set and barely a whisper of duplication, this lot presents a great opportunity to pick up the lion’s share of a highly coveted early Topps issue, with a dozen important Hall of Famers and a matching number of cards from the high-series All-Star Subset, plus Team cards and Combination cards. The aforementioned roster includes Aaron, Clemente, Berra, Kaline, Snider, Reese, Hodges and Brooks Robinson, plus All-Star cards of Ted Williams, Aaron, Mays, Musial, Mathews and Spahn. The near-set is found in perhaps a wider condition range than these treasures might typically be encountered in mature collections, essentially Very Good to Ex-Mt, with some above and below the range and the emphasis to Excellent. In the listing that follows the card shown is the player’s regular-issue Topps card unless otherwise indicated. The breakdown: Aaron – Fair, Clemente – Fair, Berra – Very Good, Reese – Very Good, Kaline – Good, Spahn – VG, Snider – Good, Hodges – Good, Brooks Robinson – Good, Aparicio – Fair, Wynn – Good, Bunning – Fair, Mays All-Star – Good, Aaron All-Star – VG, Musial All-Star – VG-Ex, Ted Williams All-Star – VG, Mathews All-Star – VG-Plus, Spahn All-Star – Good m/c; Additional Hall of Famers, Stars and All-Stars: Lemon, Kell, Dick Williams, Tanner, Ashburn, Doby, Shantz, Erskine, Neal, Mossi, Burgess, Groat, Richardson, Zernial (2), Law, Antonelli, Wertz, Yost, Smith, Garcia, Moon, Goodman, Pafko, Vernon, Lary, Turley, Mueller, Lollar, Avila, Piersall, Donovan, Friend, Adcock (2), Newcombe, Brosnan, Score, Brutpn, Battey, Sauer, Mizell, Maxwell, Crandall, Grant, Woodling, Simmons, Taylor, Power, Thomas, Kuenn, and six Team cards.
