Lot # 1476: 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 13% Ex-Mt to Nr/Mt, 67% Vg-Ex to Ex, and 20% Gd to Vg (including a few lesser). Eight cards have been professionally graded and encapsulated by PSA. Keys: #1 Wynn (Ex), 10 Banks (Vg-Ex), 28 B. Robinson (Ex), 35 Ford (Ex), 50 Kaline (Ex), 73 Gibson (Ex), 136 Kaat RC (Ex), 148 Yastrzemski RC (Ex-Mt+), 160 Mantle/Boyer (Ex), 200 Mays (EX 5), 210 Killebrew (Vg-Ex), 250 Musial (Vg-Ex+), 300 Aaron (Vg), 316 McCovey RC (Vg-Ex), 326 Clemente (85/15 L/R, otherwise Ex), 332 Yankees Team (Vg), 343 Koufax (Vg-Ex+), 350 Mantle (EX 5), 377 Maris (EX-MT 6), 420 Mathews (Vg+), 445 Spahn (Ex), 475 Drysdale (Ex), 480 Berra (trimmed left and bottom edges, otherwise Vg-Ex+), 490 F.
