A tremendous original-owner complete set of 1960 Topps from our Texas Find. Like several of the other sets from this fine collection the 1960 Topps set was completed in its year of issue and carefully stored in a vintage photo album. As was the case with several of the vintage set the 1960 Topps set was removed from its album and placed in binder sheets. Unlike the others however a much greater degree of care seems to have been taken in removing the cards and subsequently inserting them into the 9-pocket sheets. The result is a much higher-grade set with the majority of the condition flaws relating to Topps' print defects such as centering. While some of the cards do exhibit corner dings and mild wear the overall condition of the cards is very strong grading approximately 2% NM-MT 8% NM 30% EX/MT 43% EX 16% VG/EX and a few lesser. We took the liberty of having eleven cards graded by PSA. Their grades are as follows: PSA NM-MT 8 (2 cards): #420 Mathews #563 Mantle AS; PSA NM 7 (3 cards): #148 Yastrzemski #343 Koufax #490 F. Robinson; PSA EX-MT 6 (4 cards): #28 B. Robinson #200 Mays #300 Aaron #326 Clemente; PSA EX+ 5.5 (2 cards): #50 Kaline #350 Mantle. The remaining keys grade out #1 Wynn (VG) #10 Banks (EX) #35 Ford (EX) #55 Mazeroski EX #73 Gibson EX #100 Fox (EX) #160 Mantle/Boyer (EX) #210 Killebrew (EX/MT) #250 Musial (EX) #264 Roberts (EX) #305 Ashburn (EX but MC reverse) #316 McCovey (VG/EX) #377 Maris (EX) #445 Spahn (VG/EX) #340 Cepeda (EX/MT) #480 Berra (EX) #493 Snider (Ex/MT) #566 Aaron AS (EX/MT). A beautiful original owner set well cared-for with many higher-grade specimens. 572 cards total.
