The 1958 Topps set is a BIG set - the biggest Topps issue up until that date. Set in-between the company's landmark 1957 issue and its popular 1959 set, the 1958s are underrated, the simplicity of the colorful designs and lack of key rookie cards have made the set less popular than some others of its era.  However, the strength of the player selection has created several collecting challenges, notably a large number of Hall of Famers and variations within the set.

Offered here is an exceptionally strong complete set, assembled by a veteran collector.  While a technical breakdown of condition would be 1% EX-MT, 4% EX, 25% VG/EX, 43% VG, 23% GOOD, 4% FAIR and a few lesser, the cards are quite pleasing, bright and clean with strong aesthetics within the grade. Surface wear is largely kept to a minimum, with the primary flaws relating to centering and corner wear.  A condition breakdown of the key cards, including those graded by PSA, would be as follows: #1 Williams (PSA VG 3), #5 Mays (PSA GOOD 2), #25 Drysdale (VG), #30 Aaron (PSA VG-EX 4), #40 Kell (VG), #47 Maris (PSA EX 5), #52 Clemente (PSA VG-EX 4), #70 Kaline (PSA VG-EX 4), #85 Aparicio (VG), #88 Snider (F), #90 Roberts (G), #100 Wynn (VG), #115 Bunning (VG-EX), #162 Hodges (VG), #187 Koufax (PSA VG-EX 4), #230 Ashburn (VG-EX), #246 Yankees Team (PSA EX 5), #270 Spahn (P), #285 F. Robinson (PSA VG 3), #288 Killebrew (PSA VG-EX 4), #295 Minoso (F), #310 Banks (PSA VG-EX 4), #320 Ford (F), #370 Berra (PSA VG 3), #386 Birdies Sluggers (PSA VG-EX 4), #375 Reese (PSA EX-MT 6), #418 Aaron/Mantle (PSA VG-EX 4), #440 Mathews (G), #485 Williams AS (VG-EX), #486 Mays AS (VG/EX), #487 Mantle AS (VG), #488 Aaron AS (VG/EX).  A clean complete set.  494 cards total.
