This is a very crisp and clean complete set of this popular 1950s Topps football issue, loaded with Hall of Famers and stars from the era. The equivalent SMR value for just 169 of the 176 graded cards (factoring in the four half grades at the lower whole-grade level and not including the five PSA-qualified cards, the GAI-graded card, or the Global Authority-graded card) is $5,700. Total: 176 cards. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot.
