A well-loved set the cards contained herein are largely presentable but collector-grade. Entirely ungraded many of the cards suffer from the typical centering/cutting issues often found in 1950s Topps issues but also exhibit the signs of significant handling: surface and corner wear some creasing the occasional marked checklist. Additionally the "Magic Answer" panels on the reverse of each card has been rubbed revealing the cartoon answers to the trivia questions. Lastly a small percentage of the cards exhibit some back damage that appears to be from scrapbook removal in the form of paper loss. A condition breakdown of the set would be 4% EX; 14% VG/EX; 44% VG; 26% G; 8% F; and 4% P with the keys grading as follows: #1 Unitas (G); #10 Brown (P); #19 Nomellini (F); #20 Gifford VG/EX); #23 Starr (F); #50 Matson (VG/EX); #51 Huff (G); #82 Hornung (VG); #86 Donovan (G); #88 Retzlaff (VG); #101 Marchetti (EX); #130 Tittle (G). A well-loved collector grade set.
