Largely collector-grade complete 1968 Topps set, though the graded keys are generally higher-grade and more attractive.  Typically condition-sensitive and tough to grade because of the stylized borders and clear centering issues, the 1968 Topps set remains a popular one with the rookie cards of Nolan Ryan and Johnny Bench, two of the most sought-after rookie cards of the decade.  This set grades approximately 12% EX with a few better, 24% VG/EX, 36% VG, 21% GOOD, and 6% F/P, with the key cards grading as follows:

#20 F. Robinson (VG), #45 Seaver (F), #50 Mays (G), #72 John (PSA EX-MT 6), #80 Carew (SGC EX 5), #86 Stargell (G), #100 Gibson (VG), #110 Aaron (PSA VG-EX 4), #144 Morgan (G), #150 Clemente (F), #177 Ryan (PSA EX 5), #205 Marichal (VG/EX), #220 Killebrew (VG/EX), #230 Rose (SGC EX 5), #240 Kaline (VG), #247 Bench (SGC EX 5), #280 Mantle (SGC VG+ 3.5), #290 McCovey (VG-EX), #355 Banks (VG/EX), #370 Aaron AS (VG/EX), #374 Clemente AS (VG/EX), #408 Carlton (VG), #490 Superstars (SGC EX+ 5.5), #500 F. Robinson (EX), #520 Brock (EX), #575 Palmer (VG).  598 cards total.
