Lot # 1695: 1971 Topps Complete Set (752)

Crisp and clean 1971 Topps set, at 752 cards the largest set of Topps cards issued up to that time. The black flush-to-the-border design of the 1971 Topps set makes this issue particularly challenging to collect in extremely high grade. Condition is 35% Nr/Mt to Nr/Mt-Mt (mostly Nr/Mt), 60# Ex to Ex-Mt, and 5% Vg to Vg-Ex (including a few with a slight trim and thirteen with color added). We have selected four cards for grading and encapsulation by SGC. Keys: #5 Munson (slightly miscut bottom edge, otherwise Ex), 14 Concepcion RC (Nr/Mt+), 20 Jackson (Ex-Mt), 26 Blyleven RC (Ex due solely to centering), 100 Rose (Vg-Ex+), 117 Simmons RC (Nr/Mt+), 160 Seaver (Ex-Mt due to centering), 210 Carew (Nr/Mt), 250 Bench (Ex-Mt), 325 Marichal (color added, otherwise Vg-Ex+), 341 Garvey RC (Ex+), 400 Aaron (Ex+), 450 Gibson (Nr/Mt+), 513 Ryan (Ex-Mt), 525 Banks (20/80 L/R, otherwise Ex-Mt), 530 Yastrzemski (Ex-Mt), 550 Killebrew (Ex-Mt), 570 Palmer (Ex), 600 Mays (trimmed, otherwise Nr/Mt), 625 Brock (30/70 L/R, otherwise Nr/Mt+), 630 Clemente (Ex), 640 F. Robinson (Ex-Mt+), 650 Allen (slight trim, otherwise Nr/Mt+), and 709 Baylor/Baker RC (30/70 L/R, otherwise Nr/Mt+). Extremely attractive mid- to high-grade complete set. Total: 752 cards.
