Dating from when sets could not be purchased all at once, and had to be assembled by series as they were released throughout the season, this 1970 Topps set includes a countless array of stars and Hall of Famers. This is an extremely attractive and mostly high-grade near-complete set (minus one) of this classic 1970s Topps series. The total SMR value for the forty-seven PSA-graded cards is $3,258. Total: 719 cards. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot.
