Presented here is a really nice example of the 1970 Topps Baseball set, found here in a striking, mostly Near-Mint or better, with some below and an overall presentation that is uncommonly uniform and consistent. The iconic “Grey Lady” gets the royal treatment here, with the Munson Rookie (PSA 6) and the Nolan Ryan No. 712 (PSA 3) and a roster of keys and Hall of Famers that typically conforms to the wider condition range, with exceptions noted below. This was the first Topps issue launching the decade of the 1970’s and one of the last couple of sets the company produced in individual series, yielding an expensive group of high numbers in the final run. The breakdown of keys: No. 1 Mets Team – Excellent, 10 Yastrzemski – Near-Mint, 140 Jackson – VG-Ex-Plus, 189 Munson Rookie – PSA 6, 190 Torre – VG-Ex, 250 McCovey – Ex-Mt-Plus, 290 Carew – Nr-Mt-Plus, 300 Seaver – Nr-Mt, 343 Checklist – Good, 350 Clemente – Nr-Mt, 458 Rose All-Star – Nr-Mt o/c, 461 Yastrzemski All-Star – Nr-Mt-Plus o/c, 462 Aaron All-Star – Nr-Mt, 463 Frank Robinson All-Star – Ex-Mt-Plus, 464 Bench All-Star – Ex o/c, 580 Rose – Ex-Mt-Plus, 600 Mays – VG-Ex, 630 Banks – VG-Ex, 660 Bench – Nr-Mt-Plus, 700 Frank Robinson – Ex-Mt-Plus and 712 Ryan – PSA 3.
