This is another example of the improving photo quality of Topps issues in the 1960’s, a very clean and consistent looking grouping, with good photo focus and nice gloss and some particularly strong cards of important HOFers and stars. Overall, the set has a wider than usual range, perhaps Very Good to Nr-Mt, with some below, but the emphasis to the upper end of the range. The World Series cards are mostly Ex-Mt to Nr-Mt; the League Leaders tend more to Good to Very Good. A significant number of truly high-grade commons are liberally sprinkled throughout, and many of the cartoons on the cards’ backs are unscratched.
