Exceptional, higher-grade example of one of the most important of all basketball card issues, the 1957-58 Topps set.  Entirely graded by PSA, the set ranks #27 on the current finest list, with a weighted GPA of 6.08.  Virtually all the cards have been graded EX-MT 6, with the following exceptions: PSA NM-MT 8 (OC) (1 card): #23 Dick Garmaker PSA NM 7 (3 cards): #6 George King #15 Frank Ramsey, #49 Walt Davis, PSA EX-MT+ 6.5 (1 card): #34 Woody Sauldsberry. The remaining cards have all garnered a grade of EX-MT. It should be noted that the holder of one of the cards does have a crack, which has not damaged the card, however is mentioned here for reasons of communication.  

This set was assembled some time ago by a dedicated basketball collector who paid more consideration to image quality and corners than to centering.  The cards are beautiful, sharp and crisp.  The rookie card of Bill Russell, also EX-MT 6, is exceptionally sharp, centered high on the canvas but fine from left to right.  A tremendous grouping of cards, a higher-grade example of one of the most important of all basketball sets, a perfect candidate to acquire and let rest, or a springboard to slowly building a higher-grade set. 80 cards total.
