Superb complete set of 1970 Topps baseball.

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 (50 years and counting!) and includes a countless array of stars and Hall of Famers. This is a very attractive high-grade complete set of this classic 1970's Topps series. The total SMR value for just the thirty-eight graded cards is $1,872. Total: 720 cards. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot. Reserve $1,000. Estimate $2,500+.
