Extraordinary complete set of 572 cards. 3% grade NM-MT; 13% NM; 33% EX-MT; 37% EX; 12% VG-EX with 2% lesser. This set was assembled by an advanced collector with an extraordinary eye for the overall aesthetics of a card from corners to centering. The visual element most noticable among this set is the brightness and clarity of the cards; even the midgrade cards in the set are attractive in appearance. Virtually every card in this set is strong for the grade there are virtually no creases as the set's primary condition flaws deal primarily with minor corner and edge wear along with the centering issues typical of the grade. In fact many of the cards would grade higher than we have assessed above should centering be less of a consideration. Key cards grade as follows: #1 Wynn EX; #10 Banks PSA EX-MT+ 6.5; #28 DeBusschre PSA NM 7; #35 Ford EX; #50 Kaline EX; #55 Mazeroski VG; #73 Gibson EX; #100 Fox EX; #148 Yastrzemski RC SGC NM+ 86; #160 Mantle/Boyer EX; #200 Mays EX; #210 Killebrew VG/EX; #250 Musial EX-MT+; #268 Roberts NM; #300 Aaron SGC EX-NM 80; #305 Ashburn EX; #316 McCovey EX-MT; #326 Clemente PSA EX-MT 6; #343 Koufax EX+; #350 Mantle SGC EX-NM 80; #420 Mathews EX-MT; #334 Spahn PSA EX-MT 6; #450 EX-MT; #475 Drysdale EX; #480 Berra EX; #490 F Robinson VG-EX; #493 Snider VG-EX; #502 Bunning PSA NM 7; #563 Mantle AS PSA NM 7; #564 Mays AS PSA NM 7; #566 Aaron AS PSA NM 7.
