Lot # 2508: 1962 Topps Football Complete Set (176) Including 14 PSA-Graded Cards

Presented is an extremely attractive mid- to high-grade complete set of 1962 Topps football cards. The black border design of the 1962 Topps football set makes this issue particularly challenging to collect in extremely high grade. This classic set features all the stars of the era, including rookie cards of Hall of Famers Mike Ditka and Fran Tarkenton, and stars such as Johnny Unitas, Jim Brown, Bart Starr, and Ernie Davis. Condition of the set is 45% Ex-Mt to Nr/Mt (including a couple Nr/Mt-Mt), 49% Vg-Ex to Ex, and 6% Gd to Vg. Fourteen cards have been professionally graded and encapsulated by PSA.

The SMR value for just 13 of the graded cards (not including the PSA-qualified card and factoring in the half grade at the lower whole-grade level) is $5,187. Total: 176 cards.
