Postwar Baseball - 1970s to Present Cards

Presented is an astonishingly ultra-high-grade complete set of 1985 Topps baseball, entirely graded and encapsulated by PSA. This incredible set currently ranks first on the PSA Set Registry with an impressive overall GPA of 9.93 and includes an unbelievable 739 cards graded GEM MINT 10. It goes without saying that the assembly of this set is a tremendous collecting achievement. The 1985 Topps set, which is one of the most popular sets of the 1980s, includes rookie cards of Mark McGwire, Kirby Puckett, Roger Clemens, and Dwight Gooden. PSA Grading Composite: GEM MINT 10 (739 cards): Including #30 Ripken, 100 Brett, 180 Winfield, 181 Clemens RC, 200 Jackson, 401 McGwire RC, 536 Puckett RC, 620 Gooden RC, 627 Davis RC, 665 Mattingly, and 760 Ryan. MINT 9 (53 cards): #4, 19, 29, 48, 58, 59, 64, 82, 93, 106, 107, 138, 164, 173, 214, 242, 254, 267, 296, 297, 301, 323, 353, 369, 387, 394, 405, 416, 457, 490, 513, 519, 552, 588, 591, 633, 635, 646, 656, 664, 666, 676, 681, 707, 718, 720, 721, 723, 732, 752, 764, 769, and 784. Finding GEM MINT cards from any 1980s set is no easy task. The presence of 739 GEM MINT cards from this almost forty-year-old set is nothing short of remarkable. Even the 53 MINT cards are likely only separated from their GEM MINT counterparts by some microscopic technical flaw. This set has been assembled with great care and an uncompromising commitment to quality, with a concern for all factors, which is evident throughout the entire set. This is an incredible set, without question the finest 1985 Topps set ever assembled in the history of collecting. Total: 792 cards. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot. Opening Bid $10,000.
