Presented is a very attractive and mostly mid- to high-grade complete set of the classic 1955 Topps issue, highlighted by Roberto Clemente and Sandy Koufax rookie cards. Condition is 12% Ex-Mt to Nr/Mt, 38% Ex, and 50% Vg to Vg-Ex (including 3% lesser). Six cards have been graded and encapsulated by PSA. Keys: #1 Rhodes (Vg-Ex+), 2 Williams (Vg), 4 Kaline (Vg-Ex), 24 Newhouser (Ex-Mt), 28 Banks (Ex-Mt), 31 Spahn (measures a bit small, otherwise Ex+), 47 Aaron (NM 7), 50 Robinson (EX-MT+ 6.5), 92 Zimmer RC (Ex), 100 Irvin (Vg-Ex), 120 Kluszewski (Ex), 123 Koufax RC (EX 5), 124 Killebrew RC (EX 5), 125 Boyer RC (Ex+), 152 Agganis RC (Vg+), 155 Mathews (Vg-Ex), 164 Clemente RC (NM 7 [OC]), 187 Hodges (15/85 L/R, otherwise Ex), 189 Rizzuto (pen mark on reverse, otherwise Vg+), 194 Mays (EX-MT 6), 198 Berra (Vg-Ex), and 210 Snider (Ex). This is an exceptionally attractive mid- to high-grade complete set of 1955 Topps, one of the most classic 1950s Topps series. The total SMR value for just five of the graded cards (not including the PSA-qualified Clemente rookie and factoring in the EX-MT+ half grade at the lower whole-grade level) is $2,200. Total: 206 cards. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000/$2,000+.
