Exceptional 1951 Topps Red Back set, issued during Topps' first season producing baseball cards.  The cards are formatted for game play, making higher grade specimens difficult since many youngsters played the game in 1951, rather than saving the cards.  Given the intended use of the cards, this is a higher-grade set, grading approximately 2% MINT, 11% NM-MT, 8% NM, 26% EX-MT, 32% EX, 13% VG-EX, and 8% VG.  A breakdown of the key cards is as follows:  #1 Berra (VG), #5 Rizzuto (EX-MT), #8 Wynn (PSA NM-MT 8), #15 Kiner (EX-MT), #22 Feller (VG), #30 Spahn (PSA NM 7), #31 Hodges (EX), #38 Snider (PSA NM-MT 8), #50 Irvin (PSA NM-MT 8).  The set includes five other PSA-graded cards, as follows: #16 Roe (PSA NM 7), #20 DiMaggio (PSA NM-MT 8), #36 Zernial (PSA MINT 9), #39 DiMaggio (PSA NM-MT 8), and #42 Scarborough (PSA NM-MT 8).  An exceptional set.  52 cards total.
