Lot # 1413: 1962 Topps Complete Set (598) Including #200 Mickey Mantle PSA EX-MT 6

The 1962 Topps set has a well-deserved reputation for being the era's most condition-sensitive issue. The flush-to-the-border brown wood-grain design of the 1962 Topps set makes this issue particularly susceptible to edge and corner wear, and makes the assembly of high-grade sets all the more difficult. Condition is 17% Ex-Mt to Nr/Mt, 58% Vg-Ex to Ex, and 25% Gd to Vg (including a few lesser). We have selected five cards to be graded and encapsulated by PSA. Keys: #1 Maris (Vg), 5 Koufax (Gd+), 10 Clemente (Vg-Ex), 18 Manager's Dream (Vg-Ex+), 25 Banks (Vg-Ex), 30 Mathews (Ex), 45 B. Robinson (10/90 L/R, otherwise Ex-Mt+), 50 Musial (95/5 L/R, otherwise Ex-Mt), 53 AL HR Ldrs (15/85 T/B, otherwise Ex), 70 Killebrew (Vg+), 99 Powell RC (5/95 L/R, otherwise Ex), 100 Spahn (Vg-Ex), 139d Babe Hits 60/no pole in background (Ex-Mt), 140 Gehrig/Ruth (Nr/Mt), 150 Kaline (70/30 L/R, otherwise Nr/Mt+), 199 Perry RC (Gd), 200 Mantle (EX-MT 6), 218 Torre RC (Vg), 251 Yankees Team (Vg+), 300 Mays (EX 5), 310 Ford (Nr/Mt), 313 Maris Blast (Ex+), 318 Switch Hitter Connects - Mantle (Vg+), 320 Aaron (Vg), 340 Drysdale (Ex+), 350 F. Robinson (Ex-Mt), 360 Berra (2/98 L/R, otherwise Ex-Mt), 387 Brock RC (EX-MT 6), 394 Aaron AS (Vg), 395 Mays AS (Vg-Ex+), 401 Maris/Cepeda (Vg), 425 Yastrzemski (Vg), 471 Mantle AS (2/98 L/R, otherwise Vg), 500 Snider (Vg-Ex+), 505 Marichal (Vg-Ex), 530 Gibson (NM 7), 544 McCovey (EX-MT 6), 545 Wilhelm (Vg), 575 Schoendienst (Ex+), 592 Bouton RC (Vg), 594 Uecker RC (Ex+), 596 Pepitone RC (Vg+), and 598 Hickman RC (Vg-Ex). This is a very attractive mid- to high-grade complete set of this classic set, which includes all the great stars of the era.
