Lot # 1617: 1965 Topps Complete Set (598) Including #350 Mickey Mantle SGC EX+ 5.5

Very attractive and mostly mid-grade complete set of one of the most popular sets of the decade. The 1965 Topps set includes rookie cards of Hall of Famers Joe Morgan, Steve Carlton, Catfish Hunter, and Tony Perez. Condition is 10% Nr/Mt (including a few Nr/Mt-Mt), 45% Ex to Ex-Mt, 35% Vg to Vg-Ex, and 10% lesser (including ten with a slight miscut, a couple that measure small, and two altered). We have selected four cards for grading and encapsulation by SGC. Keys: #16 Morgan RC (slightly miscut top edge, otherwise Vg-Ex), 120 F. Robinson (Ex due to centering), 130 Kaline (Ex+), 134 Mantle WS (Vg-Ex+), 150 B.
