Lot # 1478: 1960 Topps Complete Set (572)

Presented is a complete set of 1960 Topps baseball, which 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 three cards in this set, as he also appears on the #160 "Rival All-Stars" card with Ken Boyer. Condition is 19% Ex-Mt to Nr/Mt (mostly Ex-Mt), 70% Vg-Ex to Ex, and 11% Gd to Vg (including a couple lesser). We have selected seven cards for grading and encapsulation by PSA. Keys: #1 Wynn (slightly miscut bottom edge, otherwise Vg-Ex), 10 Banks (Vg-Ex), 28 B. Robinson (Ex), 35 Ford (Vg-Ex+), 50 Kaline (Vg-Ex+), 73 Gibson (Vg-Ex+), 136 Kaat RC (Vg), 148 Yastrzemski RC (EX 5), 160 Mantle/Boyer (Ex-Mt), 200 Mays (Vg-Ex), 210 Killebrew (Ex), 250 Musial (Vg-Ex), 300 Aaron (VG-EX 4), 316 McCovey RC (15/85 T/B, otherwise Ex), 326 Clemente (VG-EX 4), 332 Yankees Team (Vg-Ex+), 343 Koufax (VG-EX 4), 350 Mantle (VG-EX 4), 377 Maris (Ex), 420 Mathews (Ex), 445 Spahn (Vg-Ex+), 475 Drysdale (Vg-Ex), 480 Berra (90/10 T/B, otherwise Ex), 490 F. Robinson (85/15 L/R, otherwise Ex), 493 Snider (Ex-Mt), 554 McCovey AS (Ex), 560 Banks AS (85/15 L/R, otherwise Ex-Mt), 563 Mantle AS (EX 5), 564 Mays AS (NM 7), 565 Maris AS (Ex), and 566 Aaron AS (90/10 L/R, otherwise Ex). This is a highly attractive mid- to high-grade complete set 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: 572 cards.
