The 1965 Topps set is one of the cleanest more attractive Topps sets of the decade each card featuring a large color photo of the player surrounded by a thin border and player information set in plain type along the bottom border. Containing a strong sample of Hall of Famers along with the rookie cards of Steve Carlton Catfish Hunter Joe Morgan and Tony Perez the set remains popular among collectors today. Presented here is a clean midgrade complete set along with a complete companion set of 1965 Topps Embossed cards. Firmly occupying the middle grades a condition breakdown would be 1% NM or better 16% EX/MT 47% EX 30% VG/EX and 5% lesser with a few likely trimmed. The Embossed set averages VG/EX with a few better and some lesser. 12 of the cards have been graded by PSA as follows: #150 Brooks Robinson (PSA EX-MT 6) #170 Hank Aaron (PSA EX-MT 6 ST) #200 Joe Torre (PSA NM 7) #320 Bob Gibson (PSA EX-MT 6) #350 Mickey Mantle (PSA NM 7) #434 Dave Morehead (PSA NM-MT 8) #477 Steve Carlton RC (PSA NM 7) #510 Ernie Banks (PSA NM-MT 8) #513 Yankees Team (PSA NM 7) #526 Catfish Hunter RC (PSA NM-MT 8) #575 Jose Pagan (PSA NM-MT 8) #581 Tony Perez RC (PSA MINT 9 OC). Two additional cards from the Embossed set have been graded #16 Brooks Robinson (PSA NM-MT 8) and #19 Roberto Clemente (SGC NM+ 7.5). A breakdown of the set's additional ungraded keys is as follows: #15 Roberts (EX/MT) #16 Morgan RC (EX/MT) #20 Bunning (EX/MT) #50 Marichal (EX/MT) #95 Mazeroski (VG/EX) #110 Santo (EX) #120 Frank Robinson (VG/EX) #130 Kaline (EX/MT) #155 Maris (VG/EX) #160 Clemente (EX) #176 McCovey (EX/MT) #187 Stengel (VG) #193 Perry (VG/EX) #205 Spahn (VG/EX) #207 Rose (F) #220 Williams (VG/EX) #250 Mays (VG/EX) #300 Koufax (EX) #360 Cepeda (VG) #377 Stargell (VG/EX) #385 Yastrzemski (EX) #400 Killebrew (EX) #461 Niekro (EX) #500 Mathews (VG) #540 Brock (EX). 598 cards total plus the 72-card Embossed set for a total of 670 cards.
