4% EX, 15% VG/EX, 37% VG, 31% GOOD, 12% FAIR, 2% lesser.  The 1957 Topps issue was the company's first foray into "standard" sized cards, and the size they selected remains the standard for trading cards today.  The groundbreaking set is still immensely popular among collectors today, due in part to its colorful photography and simplistic design; collectors of high-grade examples have driven prices for such cards into the stratosphere.  Presented here is a collector-grade complete set that meets the needs of the passionate collector - a clean, presentable set with few creases and little excessive wear; the cards have been handled by not unreasonably so, and condition issues relate as much to centering as they do to handling.  12 of the cards have been graded by SGC: #10 Willie Mays (SGC VG 3), #18 Don Drysdale (SGC VG+ 3.5), #24 Bill Mazeroski (SGC VG/EX 4), #35 Frank Robinson (SGC VG 3), #95 Mickey Mantle (SGC VG+ 3.5), #125 Al Kaline (SGC VG+ 3.5), #210 Roy Campanella (SGC GD+ 2.5), #250 Eddie Mathews (SGC EX 5), #302 Sandy Koufax (SGC GD 2), #328 Brooks Robinson (SGC FR 1.5), #338 Jim Bunning (SGC FR 1.5), and #407 Yankees Power Hitters (SGC VG 3).  Remaining keys grade as follows: #1 Williams (VG), #2 Berra (VG), #20 Aaron (G), #25 Ford (F), #55 Banks (VG), #70 Ashburn (VG), #76 Clemente (F), #90 Spahn (VG), #170 Snider (G), #203 Wilhelm (F), #230 Kell (F), #400 Dodgers Sluggers (VG).  An impressive, high-quality collector-grade example of one of the most popular issues in Topps' illustrious history.  407 cards total.
