Very attractive, mostly mid-grade 1971 Topps set, at 752 cards the largest set of Topps cards issued up to that time. The black flush-to-the-border design of the 1971 Topps set makes this issue particularly challenging to collect in high grade. Condition is 25% Ex to Ex-Mt (mostly Ex), 63% Vg to Vg-Ex, and 12% lesser (including a couple miscut and forty-five with color added). Keys: #5 Munson (Vg), 20 Jackson (100/0 T/B, otherwise Vg-Ex), 26 Blyleven RC (Vg-Ex), 100 Rose (slightly miscut left edge, otherwise Vg-Ex+), 117 Simmons RC (Ex), 160 Seaver (Vg+), 230 Stargell (Vg-Ex+), 250 Bench (Vg), 341 Garvey RC (color added and trimmed, otherwise Vg), 400 Aaron (color added, otherwise Fr), 513 Ryan (Vg), 525 Banks (Vg-Ex), 570 Palmer (Vg), 600 Mays (Gd+), 625 Brock (color added, otherwise Vg), 630 Clemente (Gd-Vg), 640 F. Robinson (Fr), and 709 Baylor/Baker RC (Vg+). Attractive mid-grade complete set. Total: 752 cards. Reserve $300. Estimate (open).
