27% Nr/Mt to Nr/Mt-Mt (mostly Nr/Mt), 51% Ex to Ex-Mt, and 22% Vg to Vg-Ex (including a couple lesser and one with a slight trim). Very attractive complete 1970 Topps set. At 720 cards, the 1970 Topps set was the largest set of Topps cards issued to date.

Dating from when sets could not be purchased all at once, and had to be assembled by series as they were released throughout the season, this 1970 Topps set is starting to have some real age to it (49 years and counting!) and includes a countless array of stars and Hall of Famers. This is a very attractive mid- to high-grade complete set of this classic 1970's Topps series. Total: 720 cards. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000+.
