Description

Presented is a very attractive mid- to high-grade complete set of one of the great classics of the 1960s! The 1969 Topps set is highlighted by the rookie cards of Oakland A's Hall of Famers Reggie Jackson and Rollie Fingers, plus the last card of Mickey Mantle. This final card of "The Mick," who retired March 1, 1969, contains his complete statistical record on the reverse. The example of #549 Ron Brand displays an unauthenticated pen signature. Condition is 26% Nr/Mt to Nr/Mt-Mt, 62% Ex to Ex-Mt, and 12% Vg to Vg-Ex (including a few with a miscut side edge). We have selected six cards for grading and encapsulation by SGC. Keys: #20 Banks (NM/MT 8), 50 Clemente (Vg-Ex+), 95 Bench (Ex due solely to centering), 100 Aaron (Ex+), 120 Rose (Ex+), 130 Yastrzemski (slightly miscut left edge, otherwise Nr/Mt), 190 Mays (Ex), 200 Gibson (slightly miscut left edge, otherwise Ex-Mt), 250 F. Robinson (80/20 T/B, otherwise Nr/Mt), 255 Carlton (NM+ 7.5), 260 Jackson RC (EX/NM 6), 375 Killebrew (NM/MT 8), 410 Kaline (Nr/Mt), 412 Checklist - Mantle (Ex), 480 Seaver (20/80 L/R, otherwise Nr/Mt), 500 Mantle (EX/NM+ 6.5), 510 Carew (Vg-Ex), 533 Ryan (NM 7), 550 B. Robinson (Ex-Mt), 573 Palmer (Ex-Mt), and 597 Fingers RC (Nr/Mt). This is an exceptional complete set of one of the great 1960s Topps issues, loaded with Hall of Famers. Total: 664 cards.
