Postwar Baseball - 1970s to Present Cards

Presented is a three-ring binder housing eighty-two 1970 Topps Super baseball cards from the files of the Topps Company, preserved and displayed in an unusual manner. This particular binder was originally designed to house two examples of each card in this set (#1-42). Only two cards are missing (the back copies of #1 and 2). Highlights include: #5 Seaver, 8 Bench, 12 Clemente, 18 Mays, 24 Aaron, 28 R. Jackson, 29 Yastrzemski, 34 Rose, 37 F. Robinson SP, 38 Powell SP and 40 B. Williams SP. These are the actual file-copy cards kept by Topps for its archives. Each page in the binder has four cards (two different cards displaying the front and back of each card) neatly mounted by means of glue on the reverse. One single page displays only two cards - the front of cards #1 Osteen and 2 Bando. The cards, aside from being mounted, grade Nr/Mt overall. These cards naturally have a special historical significance as Topps file cards. In recent years, Topps has offered file cards and pages removed from albums individually (those not sold at the 1989 Topps auction) through The Topps Vault (on eBay) and these cards have sold for significant premiums. The cards could be professionally removed if desired. Total: 82 cards. Opening Bid $500.
