Clean, but well-loved grouping of cards representing approximately 63% of a complete 1961 Topps football set, including many of the keys.  The cards at first glance appear largely VG/EX, however, a quick inspection of the backs reveals that 23 of the cards have ink writing on the reverse.  Unfortunately, as is the case with several other collector-grade groupings of cards in this auction, the young collector diligently wrote the uniform numbers of each player on the card back.  As such, the collection grades approximately 5% EX, 32% VG/EX, 34% VG, 3% GOOD, 24% FAIR and a few lesser.  

A condition report on the keys is as follows: #1 Unitas (VG), 2 Moore (F - writing), 4 Berry (F - writing), 6 Parker (VG/EX), 7 Marchetti (F - writing), 14 Jones (VG), 15 Atkins (VG), 16 George (VG/EX), 35 Karras (VG), 36 Schmidt (G), 39 Starr (F - writing), 40 Hornung (VG/EX), 44 Ringo (VG), 45 Jordan (F - writing), 50 Matson (VG/EX), 58 Tittle (VG), 63 St. Clair (VG), 64 Nomellini (VG), 70 Mitchell (VG), 71 Brown (VG), 72 McCormack (VG/EX), 77 Brown IA (VG), 79 McElhenny (G), 88 Brown (VG), 90 Robustelli (G), 91 Huff (VG/EX), 95 Jurgensen (F - writing), 96 McDonald (VG), 101 Bednarik (G), 105 Johnson (VG/EX), 166 Kemp (VG/EX).
