Clean and consistent midgrade set from the Texas Find each card carefully removed from the photo album where it had been stored beginning with the year of issue. By 1958 Charlie Young was much more careful with his cards and was clearly paying closer attention to eye appeal as well. The collection averages 9% EX/MT or better 45% EX 39% VG/EX and 6% VG and lesser with the majority of the condition flaws related either to centering or to mild corner wear. Of course a small percentage of the cards exhibit heavier wear but for the most part this is a very attractive set. We took the liberty of submitting ten cards to PSA for grading. Grades are as follows: #5 Willie Mays (PSA EX 5) #30 Hank Aaron (PSA NM 7) #47 Roger Maris (PSA EX-MT 6) #52 Roberto Clemente (PSA VG-EX 4) #150 Mickey Mantle (PSA PR 1 due to a surface abrasion) #187 Koufax (PSA EX 5) #418 Mantle/Aaron (PSA EX-MT 6) #486 Mays AS (PSA NM 7) #487 Mantle AS (PSA EX-MT 6) #488 Aaron AS (PSA NM 7). Ungraded keys are as follows: #1 Williams (VG) #2 Lemon (VG/EX) #25 Drysdale (VG) # 57 Thompson YL (EX) #70 Kaline (EX/MT) #88 Snider (EX) #100 Wynn (VG/EX) #115 Bunning (EX) #142 Slaughter (EX) #270 Spahn (EX) #285 F Robinson (VG/EX) #288 Killebrew (EX) #307 B Robinson (EX) #310 Banks (F) #320 Ford (VG) #370 Berra (VG/EX) #375 Reese (EX) #440 Mathews (EX/MT). An extremely attractive midgrade set from an original-owner collection assembled in 1958 and stored away untouched for decades. 494 cards total.
