Extraordinary complete set of 1960 Topps baseball assembled by an advanced collector with a discriminating eye. One of Topps' most visually appealing issues the color and clarity of these cards are extraordinary with a host of gradeable cards spread throughout the set. Centering is also above average for the issue with virtually every card in the set strong for the grade with the set's primary condition flaws dealing with centering and very minor corner wear. This is an extremely clean and well-preserved set with outstanding eye appeal. Key cards grade as follows: #1 Wynn (HOF - SGC EX/NM 80); #7 Mays/Rigney (EX/MT); #10 Banks (HOF - SGC EX+ 70); #28 J. Robinson (HOF - SGC EX/NM 80); #35 Ford (HOF - SGC EX/NM 80); #50 Kaline (HOF - SGC EX/NM+ 82); #73 Gibson (HOF - SGC EX+ 70); #100 Fox (HOF NM); # 136 Kaat (RC - EX); #148 Yastrzemski (HOF - SGC NM 84); #160 Mantle/Boyer (HOF - EX); #200 Mays (HOF PSA EX-MT 6); #210 Killebrew (HOF NM); #250 Musial (HOF - SGC NM+ 86); #264 Roberts (HOF EX/MT); #300 Aaron (HOF - SGC EX 60); #305 Ashburn (HOF - NM); #316 McCovey (HOF - PSA EX-MT 6); #326 Clemente (HOF - SGC EX 60); #343 Koufax (HOF - SGC NM 84); #350 Mantle (HOF - SGC NM+ 86); #420 Mathews (HOF - SGC EX/NM+ 82); #480 Berra (HOF - SGC EX+ 70); #490 F. Robinson (HOF - SGC EX/NM 80); #493 Snider (HOF - SGC EX/NM 80); #554 McCovey AS (EX-MT); #560 Banks AS (EX); #561 Kaline AS (EX/MT); #563 Mantle AS (SGC NM+ 86); #564 Mays AS (SGC EX+ 70); #565 Maris AS (SGC NM 84); #566 Aaron AS (SGC NM+ 86). A complete condition breakdown is as follows: 6% NM-MT; 20% NM; 32% EX-MT; 31% EX; 10% VG-EX; 1% Lesser. The primary condition flaw for the few midgrade cards are related to centering or corners; each of the cards are exceptionally bright and clean an extremely attractive higher-grade set. 572 cards total.
