Missing just the rookie card of Pete Rose (sold by our consignor years ago when the card was one of the hottest cards in the hobby), a near-complete 1963 Topps set. Largely collector-grade, the cards have been handled, assembled by a true collector with a focus on getting the set complete, with less attention paid to condition. That being said, for the grade, the set is quite clean, as the collector did look for the more attractive examples within the grade.  A technical breakdown would be 2% EX, 21% VG/EX, 41% VG, 19% GOOD, 12% FAIR, and 5% POOR, with a few trimmed. Key cards grade as follows: #25 Kaline (VG), 115 Yastrzemski (GOOD), 138 Mays/Musial (POOR), 173 Bombers Best (GOOD), 200 Mantle (VG), 210 Koufax (F), 228 Oliva (GOOD), 242 Banks/Aaron (VG), 250 Musial (P), 300 Mays (VG/EX), 340 Berra (POOR - trimmed), 345 Robinson (VG), 360 Drysdale (VG), 380 Banks (GOOD), 390 Aaron (GOOD), 400 Robinson (VG), 415 Gibson (FAIR), 440 Marichal (VG), 490 McCovey (VG/EX), 500 Killebrew (P), 540 Clemente (FAIR), 550 Snider (POOR), 553 Stargell (POOR). A collector-grade near-complete 1963 Topps set, missing just the Pete Rose rookie for completion. 575 cards total.
