Outstanding original-owner collection of 1964 Topps, carefully stored since the year of issue.  Our consignor collected all sports, working on sets until the next sport's issue was released, never returning to complete the set once the next season's cards were available.  The result is a beautiful grouping of cards, approximately 75% complete with most of the keys included.  The cards are all sharp and clean, the overwhelming majority of condition flaws related to poor Topps quality control inherent in this set, the result is cards with poor centering, occasionally to the point of miscut.  Very few of the cards exhibit signs of handling, those that do are generally limited to light corner touches or dings.  A condition breakdown of the set would be 4% NM with a few better, 17% EX/MT, 42% EX, 34% VG/EX, 3% VG with a few lesser (generally checklists that have been filled in).

We took the liberty of submitting eight cards to SGC for grading.  The results were #50 Mantle (EX 5), #125 Rose (EX+ 5.5), #150 Mays (EX/NM 6), #300 Aaron (VG/EX+ 4.5), #342 Stargell (VG/EX+ 4.5), #350 McCovey (NM+ 7.5), #440 Clemente (EX/NM 6), and #541 Niekro (NM 7).  Grades of the remaining keys are #21 Berra EX/MT, 29 Brock VG/EX, 35 Mathews VG/EX, 55 Banks VG/EX, 120 Drysdale VG/EX, 155 Snider VG/EX, 175 Williams VG, 177 Killebrew EX, 200 Koufax VG/EX, 210 Yastrzemski VG, 230 B. Robinson VG/EX, 250 Kaline VG/EX, 260 F. Robinson EX, 280 Marichal VG/EX, 331 AL Bombers VG/EX, 375 Santo EX, 380 Ford EX/MT, 390 Cepeda VG/EX (miscut), 423 Aaron/Mays EX, and 460 Gibson VG/EX.  443 cards total.
