Attractive and colorful example of the set that may be the most popular of its decade, 1967 Topps Baseball.  Featuring minimalist designs dominated by large, color photographs, each card features a player photo surrounded by extensive background, making each card heavy on color and making excellent use of space. Presented here is a wonderful mixed-grade set, most cards in the middle of the grading scale, with a technical breakdown of 2% NM, 12% EX-MT, 34% EX, 30% VG-EX, 13% VG, 5% GOOD, 2% FAIR, and 2% POOR.  Key cards grade as follows: #5 Ford (VG-EX), #30 Kaline (EX), #100 F. Robinson (EX), #140 Stargell (VG-EX), #146 Carlton (GOOD), #210 Gibson (EX), #215 Banks (EX), #250 Aaron (VG), #285 Brock (GOOD), #315 Williams (EX), #355 Yastrzemski (EX-MT), #369 Hunter (GOOD), #400 Clemente (FAIR), #430 Rose (FAIR), #569 Carew (VG), #581 Seaver (POOR), #600 B. Robinson (VG).  The set is missing just nine cards for completion: #31 Brewer, #45 Maris, #150 Mantle, #200 Mays, #244 NL HR Leaders, #315 Smith RC, #337 Morgan, and #475 Palmer. A tremendous start - and almost finish - to a 1967 Topps set. 601 cards total.
