Lot # 1656: 1967 Topps Near-Complete Set (605/609) Including #581 Tom Seaver Rookie SGC EX/NM 6

Very impressive, mostly mid- to high-grade near-complete set of 1967 Topps includes 605 different of the 609 cards in the set, missing the following four cards for completion: #210 Gibson, 215 Banks, 569 Carew, and 592 NL Rookies. The 1967 Topps set has always been extremely popular, featuring scores of stars and Hall of Famers from what is now fondly remembered by many baby boomers as the Golden Age of baseball cards. This near set includes legends such as Mantle, Mays, Aaron, Seaver (rookie), and Clemente, from an era before big money ruled the game, and when the summer All-Star contests were composed almost exclusively of first-rate Hall of Famers. Includes two signed cards. Condition is 15% Ex-Mt to Nr/Mt (including a few Nr/Mt-Mt), 57% Vg-Ex to Ex, and 28% Gd to Vg (including 2% lesser, a few with a slight miscut, and a couple that measure a bit small).
