Please note an error in our printed catalog, as this set is complete. One of the more condition-sensitive issues of the 1970s, the 1973 Topps Football cards have a layout that makes left-to-right and top-to-bottom centering both a challenge.  Presented here is an original-owner complete set, with the primary condition challenges related to factory issues such as centering, print snow, and rough cuts, however, some corner issues are also evident in places.  A condition breakdown would be 13% NM, 30% EX/MT, 38% EX, 17% VG/EX, and 2% VG, with the keys grading as follows: #15 Bradshaw VG, 25 Blanda EX/MT, 60 Tarkenton EX/MT, 89 Harris VG/EX (miscut back), 115 Ham EX, 185 Renfro EX/MT, 214 Buoniconti VG/EX, 243 Adderly NM, 245 Riggins EX, 275 Hayes EX/MT, 280 Greene EX, 285 Steered EX/MT, 288 Tatum EX/MT, 295 Griese EX, 322 Dierdorf EX, 343 Youngblood EX, 400 Namath EX, 455 Unitas VG/EX, 475 Staubach NM, 479 Olsen EX/MT, 487 Stabler EX, and 500 Simpson VG.  528 cards total.
