Take the condition-sensitivity of the 1971 Topps "Black Betty" cards increase their size to make them more susceptible to corner and edge wear add in a severe centering problem introduce scarcity and remove all the commons and you essentially have the 1971 Topps "Greatest Moments" issue. Comprised of 55 cards featuring highlights from the 1970 season the cards feature mostly stars and Hall of Famers and were distributed in much more limited quantity than their standard 1971 counterparts. Condition problems are certainly exacerbated by centering issues. The result is one of the most valuable Topps issues of the 1970s - if not the most.Presented is a small group of four cards including one duplicate all grading VG/EX due to centering and corner/edge wear. Despite this Greatest Moments cards are scarce and highly desirable and we are pleased to present them to you here. Included are card #28 (Nate Colbert) two examples of card #50 (Sam McDowell) and card #52 (Willie McCovey HOF).
