Postwar Baseball - 1970s to Present Cards

Graded NM/MT 8 by SGC. Superb high-grade example of #5 Thurman Munson from the extremely condition-sensitive 1971 Topps set. Perfectly centered with four sharp corners, flawless registration, and no chipping on the colored borders. 1971 Topps cards typically suffer from a variety of condition problems, including centering issues, print quality, and especially corner and edge chipping, which make high-grade examples particularly difficult to find. This is a spectacular high-grade example of one of Thurman Munson's most iconic cards from one of the most condition-sensitive sets ever produced, which would be a significant addition to any world-class 1971 Topps set or New York Yankees collection. Reserve $300. Estimate $500+.
