One of the most overlooked and yet attractive Topps issues of the 1960s, the 1964 set is characterized by beautiful, crisp photography and a clean, minimalistic layout.  Similar in simplicity to the beloved 1967 issue, the cards feature full-color portrait or posed photos set against crisp, white backgrounds with colorful typography at the top and bottom borders.  Known for difficulty with centering, the borderless cards are often found on the verge of being miscut, making extremely high-grade sets difficult.  This example is an attractive, crease-free midgrade set, with a condition breakdown of approximately 2% NM or better, 7% EX/MT, 26% EX, 42% VG/EX, 23% VG, and a few lesser.
