Attractive near-complete set accumulated by the original owner in the year of issue.  Missing a good amount of high numbers, the cards are clean, handled but not abused, with the occasional crease here and there. Of course they also exhibit the 1960s Topps quality control issues that resulted in centering issues, print snow, roller lines and the like. Overall, the cards grade VG to VG/EX, with some stronger and a few lesser.  Key cards grade as follows: #2 Maris (G), #10 Robinson (EX+), #20 Roberts (VG/EX), #30 Fox (EX), #35 Santo (VG/EX), #63 Kaat (EX/MT), #80 Killebrew (VG/EX), #88 Ashburn (VG/EX), #120 Mathews (VG), #141 Williams (VG), #160 Ford (EX), #200 Spahn (VG), #207 Dodgers Southpaws (VG/EX), #287 Yastrzemski (VG), #290 Musial (VG/EX), #344 Koufax (VG/EX), #350 Banks (VG), #360 Robinson (EX/MT), #388 Clemente (VG), #405 Gehrig (VG), #406 Mantle HR (VG), #415 Aaron (EX), #425 Berra (EX/MT), #430 Mazeroski (EX), #435 Cepeda (VG), #443 Snider (EX), #517 McCovey (VG/EX).
