Beautiful complete 1970 Topps set along with five checklist variations. The 1970 Topps set is susceptible to condition issues due not only to the inferior quality control on the part of Topps but also due to the propensity of the silver borders of the cards to display chipping at the corners and edges. This set has been assembled by a dedicated collector who built the set by buying large lots and choosing the best of the cards and continuously upgrading. While there remain opportunities for upgrading this set is primarily characterized by sharp corners and edges and clean image quality. There are instances where cards exhibit softer corners or centering issues but the majority of the cards present extremely well. A condition breakdown is 5% NM-MT; 16% NM; 39% EX-MT; 34% EX; 5% VG/EX and a few lesser or trimmed. A breakdown of the key cards is as follows: #10 Yastrzemski EX-MT; #17 Wilhelm EX; #140 Jackson PSA EX-MT 6; #150 Killebrew EX; #170 B. Williams EX/MT; #189 Munson EX/MT; #211 T. Williams NM; #220 Carlton PSA NM 7; #230 B. Robinson EX; #240 Jenkins EX/MT; #250 McCovey EX/MT; #290 Carew EX/MT; #300 Seaver GAI NM+ 8.5; E330 Brock EX; #350 Clemente PSA NM-MT 8; #440 Mazeroski EX; #449 Palmer EX; #462 Aaron AS EX; #458 Rose AS SGC NM-MT 8; #459 Jackson AS PSA NM 7; 500 Aaron NM; #530 Gibson EX/MT; #555 Cepeda EX/MT; #560 Perry NM; #565 Hunter EX/MT; #580 Rose PSA NM 7; #600 Mays (trimmed); #630 Banks EX/MT; #640 Kaline EX; #700 F.
