11% EX/MT or better, 38% EX, 27% VG/EX, 23% VG, a few lesser or altered.  Sharp and clean collection of 1971 Topps, including most of the issue's key cards.  Typical for the issue, many of the cards are victim to Topps' poor quality control from the era, as centering reduces the technical grade of cards.  As most collectors know, even the slightest handling risks chipping the very sensitive black edges of these cards, so finding well-centered, undamaged examples is rare.  

The set is missing the following cards for completion: #283, 525 Banks, 531, 535, 539, 540, 551, 557, 560, 563, 568, 584, 585, 591, 592, 594, 598, 599, 609 Durocher, 630 Clemente, 634, 635, 645, 648, 650, 653, 655, 658, 660, 661, 664, 666, 671, 697, 700, 702, 705, 709, 711, 717, 723, 724, 725, 735, 736, 738, 744, 745.  Most of these cards are common single-prints, tough to find, but certainly not among the issue's key cards.  The set's keys grade as follows: #5 Munson (VG/EX), 20 Jackson (EX), #30 Niekro (VG/EX), #45 Hunter (VG/EX), #50 McCovey (EX/MT), #55 Carlton (EX), #100 Rose (VG/EX), #117 Simmons (EX), #160 Seaver (EX/MT), #180 Kaline (EX), #210 Carew (EX), #230 Stargell (EX), #250 Bench (EX), #264 Morgan (VG/EX), #280 Jenkins (VG), #300 B Robinson (VG/EX), #325 Marichal (EX), #341 Garvey (VG/EX), #380 T. Williams (VG/EX), #384 Fingers (VG/EX), #400 Aaron EX, #450 Gibson (VG/EX), #513 Ryan (G), #530 Yastrzemski (VG), #550 Killebrew (VG), #570 Palmer (VG), #610 Mays (VG), #625 Brock #EX), #640 F. Robinson (VG).
