Presented is a very attractive complete 132-card set of 1958 Topps football, highlighted by thirty-two Hall of Famers, including the rookie cards of Jim Brown and Sonny Jurgensen. Varying degrees of pencil writing are visible on the reverse of 73% of the cards in this complete set. Without further reference to the pencil marks, the condition is 80% Ex to Ex-Mt (mostly due to centering and including 4% better), and 20% Vg to Vg-Ex (mostly due to centering). We have selected three cards for grading and encapsulation by SGC. Keys (pencil on the reverse, unless noted): #2 Layne (10/90 T/B, otherwise Nr/Mt), 3 Schmidt (10/90 T/B, otherwise Ex-Mt+), 10 Moore (EX 5), 16 Marchetti (15/85 T/B, otherwise Ex-Mt, no pencil), 22 Unitas (25/75 L/R and T/B, otherwise Nr/Mt), 35 Bednarik (10/90 L/R, otherwise Ex-Mt), 42 Tunnell (10/90 T/B, otherwise Ex), 52 Groza (15/85 T/B, otherwise Ex), 62 Brown RC (EX 5), 66 Starr (VG/EX 4), 73 Gifford (Vg), 75 Johnson (25/75 L/R, otherwise Ex-Mt), 86 Tittle (15/85 T/B, otherwise Nr/Mt), 89 Nomellini (20/80 T/B, otherwise Nr/Mt, no pencil), 90 Jurgensen RC (Ex), 93 Perry (15/85 T/B, otherwise Ex-Mt), 103 Ringo (next card showing, otherwise Ex-Mt), 106 Donovan (15/85 T/B, otherwise Ex-Mt), 120 Berry (10/90 T/B, otherwise Nr/Mt)), 127 Matson (Vg-Ex), and 129 Blanda (25/75 L/R and T/B, otherwise Ex-Mt). This is a very attractive complete set of this popular football issue, technically mixed-grade due to centering issues and the presence of pencil on most of the card backs. Total: Total: 132 cards.
