Postwar Baseball - 1960s Cards

This is a gorgeous ultra high-grade complete set of 1967 Topps baseball cards. This spectacular set is easily the single finest 1967 Topps set we have ever seen or offered. All 609 cards have been graded and encapsulated by PSA. The set is comprised of 298 MINT 9s and 310 NM-MT 8s, and one GEM MINT 10. This is without question one of the finest sets ever assembled in the history of collecting of this classic 1960s Topps issue. This set is listed on the "PSA Set Registry" as the eighth-highest graded set. The PSA weighted Grade Point Average is an incredible 8.55. This classic set is one of the most popular sets of the era, and is literally packed with Hall of Famers and stars, in addition to the rare high-number cards. The grades for the entire set can easily be accessed online on the PSA Set Registry under "jwmerrill's 67's." The PSA grades are as follows: One GEM MT 10: #606. 298 cards graded MINT 9: including #5 Ford, 20 Cepeda, 100 Robinson, 103 Checklist (Mantle), 166 Mathews, 200 Mays, 215 Banks, 228 Hodges, 250 Aaron, 315 B. Williams, 320 Perry, 333 Jenkins, 337 Morgan, 350 Torre, 355 Yastrzemski, 369 Hunter, 400 Clemente, 460 Killebrew, 475 Palmer, 476 Perez, 480 McCovey, 500 Marichal, 510 Mazeroski, 536 Niekro RC, 540 Cash, 558 Belanger RC, 560 Bunning, 581 Tom Seaver RC, 604 Red Sox team, 607 Stanley, and 609 John. 310 cards graded NM-MT 8: including #30 Kaline, 45 Maris, 55 Drysdale, 60 Aparicio, 140 Stargell, 146 Carlton, 150 Mantle, 210 Gibson, 285 Brock, 422 Wilhelm, 445 Sutton, 456 Niekro, 481 Durocher, 512 Schoendienst, 569 Carew RC, 570 Wills, 600 Robinson, and 605 Shannon. This set has been assembled with extraordinary care and dedication over a period of many years, with a concern for all condition factors, and with only incredibly high-grade examples considered for inclusion. Every card is a gem. The emphasis on centering makes this set even more spectacular than suggested by its extraordinary high grade, and is evident throughout the set. (Also, please note that, as is the case with all cards in this entire auction, none of these cards has been submitted for review for the recently introduced PSA half-grades. There is no question that a great number of these cards would be awarded higher half-grades if submitted for review.) This is simply an amazing high-grade complete set. One of the finest complete sets ever assembled of this classic Topps issue. The total SMR value for the individual cards (not including the one GEM MT 10) is $45,243. Total 609 cards. Reserve $15,000. Estimate $30,000+. SOLD FOR $41,125
