Exceptional higher-grade complete set of 1968 Topps highlighted by high-end examples of the issue's key cards. Assmbled card-by-card by a dedicated collector of 1960s Topps cards this set was consistently upgraded over a period of years the majority of the set completed some years ago and tucked away until just recently. Each of the cards presents well the primary condition flaws relating to Topps' poor quality control in the year of issue along with some lightly-dinged corners here and there. A condition breakdown is as follows: NM-MT: 3%; NM: 20%; EX-MT: 40%; EX: 32%; VG-EX: 4% with about 1% lesser and a few trimmed. A condition assessment of the issue's key cards is as follows: #20 B. Robinson EX/MT; #30 Torre EX; #37 B.
