Description

Presented is a very attractive mid- to high-grade near-complete set of 1960 Topps baseball, missing only #350 Mantle for completion. 1960 was Topps' last horizontal issue, highlighted by the rookie cards of Hall of Famers Carl Yastrzemski and Willie McCovey. Many of the biggest stars in the set, including Mantle, Mays, and Aaron, appear in the set more than once due to the All-Star card series. Mantle has two cards in this set, as he also appears on the #160 "Rival All-Stars" card with Ken Boyer. Condition is 32% Ex-Mt to Nr/Mt (including a few Nr/Mt-Mt), 62% Vg-Ex to Ex (approximately two-thirds Ex), and 6% Gd to Vg (including seven trimmed). Nine cards have been professionally graded and encapsulated by PSA. Keys: #1 Wynn (Vg-Ex+), 10 Banks (Ex), 28 B. Robinson (Ex), 35 Ford (Ex), 50 Kaline (Ex), 73 Gibson (small erasure marks on left border, otherwise Vg-Ex), 136 Kaat RC (Ex+), 148 Yastrzemski RC (Gd+), 160 Mantle/Boyer (Vg-Ex+), 200 Mays (EX 5), 210 Killebrew (Ex+), 250 Musial (EX-MT 6), 300 Aaron (EX 5), 316 McCovey RC (Vg+), 326 Clemente (EX-MT 6), 332 Yankees Team (Ex), 343 Koufax (EX-MT 6), 377 Maris (Ex+), 420 Mathews (Ex-Mt), 445 Spahn (EX-MT 6), 475 Drysdale (Nr/Mt), 480 Berra (Vg-Ex+), 490 F. Robinson (Ex+), 493 Snider (Ex), 554 McCovey AS (Ex), 560 Banks AS (Vg+), 563 Mantle AS (Vg+), 564 Mays AS (Ex), 565 Maris AS (Vg-Ex), and 566 Aaron AS (Ex). Three additional PSA-graded cards: #438 (EX-MT 6), 494 (EX-MT 6), and 501 (EX 5). This is a highly attractive mid- to high-grade near-complete set (minus one) which, in addition to all the special cards and scarce high numbers (#507-572), is loaded with Hall of Famers and stars from the 1960s. Total: 571 cards.
