Offered is the most extraordinary ultra high-grade complete set of 1964 Topps "Outer Limits" cards ever assembled! This set is currently registered as the number-one set on the PSA Set Registry with an astounding average grade of 8.12. Included are eleven MINT 9s, thirty-four NM-MT 8s, and five NM 7s. Numerous high-grade complete sets have been purchased and combined in the assembly of this incredible set. The black flush-to-the-border design of the "Outer Limits" set makes this issue particularly challenging to collect in extremely high grade. This is by far the finest set of this popular 1960s sci-fi issue we have ever seen or offered. All 50 cards have been graded and encapsulated by PSA. The complete PSA condition composite follows: Eleven MINT 9: #3, 17, 20, 23, 25, 26, 29, 31, 36, 46, and 50 (last card in the set). As of this writing, a total of only seventy "Outer Limits" have ever been graded MINT 9, and only three cards have been graded GEM MINT 10. Thirty-four NM-MT 8: #1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 18, 19, 21, 22, 24, 27, 28, 30, 33, 34, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 47, 48, and 49. Five NM 7: #6, 14, 15, 32, and 35. Every card in this set has flawless colors, sharp corners, and superb eye-appeal. This is a crisp, fresh, exceptionally high-grade complete set of this very popular 1960s nonsport issue. A set that grades NM-MT overall is unheard of for this condition-sensitive (flush-to-the-border design) issue. The total SMR value for the individual cards is $6,300. Total 50 cards. Reserve $2,500. Estimate $5,000+.
