Lot # 1412: 1962 Topps Collection (301) with 23 Hall of Famers Including #200 Mickey Mantle

Presented is an attractive mixed-grade collection of 1962 Topps baseball cards consisting of 255 different (out of 598) plus 46 duplicates for a total of 301 cards. The 1962 Topps set has a well-deserved reputation for being the era's most condition-sensitive issue. The flush-to-the-border wood grain design makes cards from this set particularly susceptible to wear. This collection is highlighted by an example of #1 Roger Maris and twenty-three Hall of Famers, including Mantle, Mays, Koufax, and Perry (rookie). Condition is 30% Ex to Ex-Mt (including 2% Nr/Mt), 48% Vg to Vg-Ex, and 22% lesser (including a couple with a slight miscut). This collection consists of the following: #1 Maris (Fr-Gd), two 4, 5 Koufax (Fr-Gd), two 6, two 7, 8, 9, two 13, 14, 15, two 22, 24, 28 Minoso (Fr), two Stengel (Ex and Gd), 30 Mathews (Vg-Ex), two 31, 32, two 33, 35, 36, 38, 40 Cepeda (Gd+), 42, 43, three 47, 48, 50 Musial (Pr), two 57 AL Win Ldrs, 64, 65, two 67, two 71, 73 Fox (Pr), two 75, 78, two 79, 80, 81, 87, 88, two 92, two 93, 94, 95, 97, two 98, two 100 Spahn (85/15 T/B, otherwise Ex-Mt+ and Pr), 103, 104, 105, 106, two 107, 108, 110, two 112, 113, 116, two 117, 118, two 119, 120, 121, 123, 124, 125, two 126, 129b, two 133, 134a Hoeft/green sky (slight trim, otherwise Ex+), 135 Babe as a Boy (Gd+), 145, 146, 147b, 148, 150 Kaline (Ex), two 153, 154, 155, 160, 162, 170 Santo (Pr), 174b, 176b, 177, 178, 179, 180, 181, 183, 184, 185, 186, 188, 190a Moon/with cap (Ex+), 190, two 191, three 192, two 195, two 196, 198, 199 Perry RC (Pr), 200 Mantle (Pr, with partially erased marks on the front), 201, 202, 203, two 205, 206, 209, 211, 212, 218 Torre RC (Ex-Mt), 219, 220, 221, two 223, 224, 225, 226, 227, 228, two 229, 231, 233, 234, 236, 237, 238, 242, 243 Roberts (Ex-Mt), 245, 246, two 247, two 250, two 251, 252, 253, 254, 256, 257, 258, 259, 260, 261, 262, 263, two 264, 265, 267, 268, 271, 272, two 273, two 274, 275, 279, 280, 282, 283, 284, 285, 286, 289, 291, 292, 293, 298, 299, 300 Mays (Pr), 301, two 302, 303, 305, 306, 307, 308, 309, 310 Ford (Vg-Ex+), two 311, 321, 322, 323, 325 Aparicio (Vg), 326, 327, 328, 329, 330, 331, 332, two 334, 335, 337, 339, two 341, 342, 343, 344, 345, 346, 349, 353 Mazeroski (Vg-Ex), 355, 356, 357, 358, 359, two 361, 362, 363, 364, 366, 369, 371, 372, 373, 375, 377, 378, 379, 380, 382, 386, 388, 389, 393, 397, 402, 404, 405, 411, 412, 413, 416, 418, 421, 422, 426, 427, 430, 434, 435, 436, 437, 441, 442, 444, 445, 448, 464, 474, 481, 484, 505 Marichal (Ex), two 508, and 518.
