Complete 1961 Topps set, assembled by a true collector with less focus on condition and more focus on completion.  As such, many of the cards are victim to Topps' poor quality control of the era, with notable centering issues and print defects.  Many have also been well-handled over the years.  A condition breakdown would be 9% EX with a few better, 23% VG/EX, 37% VG, 20% GOOD, 9% FAIR, 2% POOR.  A condition breakdown of the keys would be #2 Maris G, 10 Robinson VG/EX, 80 Killebrew F, 88 Ashburn VG/EX, 120 Mathews VGEX, 141 Williams F, 150 Mays VG, 160 Ford VG, 200 Spahn VG/EX, 211 Gibson VG, 260 Drysdale F (writing on reverse), 287 Yastrzemski G (miscut), 290 Musial G ,300 Mantle G, 344 Koufax VG, 350 Banks P, 360 F.
