Postwar Baseball - 1960s Cards

Extraordinary high-grade, near-complete set of 1962 Topps composed of 585 different cards (out of 598), each professionally graded and encapsulated NM-MT 8 by PSA. This group of cards, which represents nearly 98% of a complete set, has a pack-fresh appearance throughout with bold colors, strong corners, and excellent centering. The 1962 Topps set has a well-deserved reputation for being the era's most condition-sensitive issue. The flush-to-the-border brown wood-grain design makes this issue particularly susceptible to edge and corner wear and the assembly of high-grade sets all the more difficult. This is a stunning, high-grade near-complete set of this classic issue that includes many of the great stars of the era, highlighted by Duke Snider, Bob Gibson, Stan Musial, and Ernie Banks. Missing the following thirteen cards for a complete basic set (eleven of which are being offered as separate lots in this auction): #1 Maris, 5 Koufax, 10 Clemente, 18 Manager's Dream, 199 Perry, 200 Mantle, 288 B. Williams, 300 Mays, 318 Mantle/switch hitter, 320 Aaron, 350 F. Robinson, 387 Brock, and 471 Mantle AS. This is an exceptional, ultra-high-grade near-complete set of 1962 Topps that would provide a tremendous foundation for the assembly of, or make excellent additions to, any world-class complete set. The total SMR value for the 585 graded cards is $32,654. Total: 585 cards. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot. Reserve $10,000.
