Lot # 2875: High-Grade 1969 Topps Football Complete Set (263)

Complete 263-card set of 1969 Topps football. The colored flush-to-the-border design of the 1969 Topps Football low-number series makes this set particularly challenging to collect in extremely high grade. This classic set features all the stars of the era, including rookie cards of Hall of Famer Larry Csonka and Brian Piccolo, and stars such as Johnny Unitas, Joe Namath, Dick Butkus, Bart Starr, and Fran Tarkenton. Includes both variations of #132 Checklist. Condition is 51% Nr/Mt to Nr/Mt-Mt and 49% Ex to Ex-Mt (including a couple slightly lesser and a couple with a slight miscut). We have selected five cards for grading and encapsulation by SGC. Keys: #25 Unitas (NM 7), 26 Piccolo RC (NM+ 7.5), 51 Sayers (Ex-Mt), 100 Namath (NM 7), 120 Csonka RC (NM+ 7.5), 139 Butkus (Ex-Mt), 150 Tarkenton (Nr/Mt), 161 Griese (trimmed, otherwise Ex), and 215 Starr (NM 7). This is an extremely attractive and mostly high-grade complete set of this classic 1960s Topps football issue. Total: 264 cards (set of 263 plus one variation).
