Collectors of the 1963 Topps football set are faced with the twin challenges of dealing with Topps' poor quality control of the 1960s, along with the inevitable chipping of the colorful borders of the cards. Presented here is a nearly-complete set, fresh to the hobby from its original owner.  The cards generally appear bright and colorful, condition issues primarily related to centering and the aforementioned chipping.  A condition breakdown of the group would be 3% EX/MT, 18# EX, 31% VG/EX, 38% VG, 9% GOOD, with a couple lesser including checklist #1, which was filled in by the young collector.

A breakdown of the issue's key are as follows: #2 Moore (VG), #4 Berry (G), #5 Parker (VG), #8 Marchetti (VG/EX), #17 McCormack (VG), #19 Groza (VG/EX), #32 Lane (EX), #33 Lary (VG), #35 Schmidt (VG), #49 Tittle (VG), #59 Huff (VG), #68 Atkins (VG/EX), #70 George (VG), #86 Starr (VG/EX), #89 Gregg (VG), #95 Wood (G), #96 Nitschke (VG), #98 Tarkenton (VG), #103 McElhenny (EX), #110 Jurgenson (VG), #129 Stautner (VG/EX), #140 St. Clair (EX), #143 Nomellini (VG/EX), #155 Wilson (EX), #159 Mitchell (VG).  For completion, the set is missing cards #1, 7, 10, 13, 14, 39, 44, 62, 64, 72, 81, 82, 84, 85, 87, 93, 112, 116, 117, and 118, which includes a few of the set's keys.  Still, an excellent shoebox collection offering the winner a nearly complete set.  151 cards total.
