Clean and colorful midgrade complete set, grading approximately 3% EX-MT, 8$ EX ,23% VG/EX, 39% VG, 24% GOOD, and 3% lesser.  The cards are mostly bright, with honest wear at the corners and edges reducing the technical grades in places, and typical Topps quality control reducing it in others.  Largely, however, the set boasts strong eye appeal, an outstanding example of a "collector's set."

Six cards have been graded by PSA, as follows: #200 Mantle (PSA EX 5), #390 Aaron (PSA VG-EX 4), #300 Mays (PSA EX-MT 6), #540 Clemente (PSA EX 5), #553 Stargell (PSA VG 3) and #537 Rose (PSA EX 5 MK).  The remaining keys grade as follows:  #25 Kaline (VG-EX), #108 Wilhelm (VG), #115 Yastrzemski (VG), #134 Ashburn (G), #138 Mays/Musial (VG/EX), #173 Bombers' Best (G), #190 Minoso (EX), #210 Koufax (G), #353 Banks/Aaron (G), #250 Musial (VG/EX), #275 Mathews (VG/EX), #320 Spahn (VG), #323 Mazeroski (EX), #340 Berra (VG), #345 B. Robinson (VG), #353 B. Williams (VG/EX), #360 Drysdale (VG/EX), #380 Banks (G), #400 F. Robinson (VG), #415 Gibson (VG), #440 Marichal (VG/EX), #446 Ford (VG/EX), #472 Brock (VG), #490 McCovey (G), #500 Killebrew (G), #520 Cepeda (VG-EX).  A tremendous set, an outstanding effort on the part of Topps to incorporate color and brightness into their designs after the dull 1962 issue.  576 cards total.
