The condition of the 216-card unencapsulated balance is 28% Nr/Mt to Nr/Mt-Mt, 63% Ex to Ex-Mt, and 9% Vg to Vg-Ex (including a couple with a slight miscut). Unencapsulated Keys: #270 Spahn (Ex-Mt), 310 Banks (Ex+), 320 Ford (Vg), and 343 Cepeda RC (Vg-Ex). Outstanding high-grade near-complete set (minus one) of this classic 1950s issue that is highlighted by so many Hall of Famers. The equivalent SMR value for just 271 of the graded cards (not including the GAI-graded card, the two cards graded less than EX, or the five PSA-qualified cards and factoring in the three half grades that are lower than NM+ 7.5 at the lower whole-grade level) is $17,824. Total: 493 cards. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot.
