Clean attractive midgrade set featuring beautiful and colorful images and a clean simplistic design. The 1958 Topps issue features the rookie card of Roger Maris easily the most popular non-HOFer of the 1950s. A technical breakdown of the set is as follows: 14% EX; 40% VG-EX; 37% VG; 7% G 3% lesser. We selected four of the set's key cards for grading by PSA which turned out as follows: #5 Willie Mays PSA EX 5; #47 Roger Maris PSA VG-EX 4; #150 Mickey Mantle PSA GOOD 2; and #370 Yogi Berra PSA VG-EX 4. A breakdown of the set's additional keys is as follows: #1 Williams VG; #2 Lemon G; #25 Drysdale VG; #30 Aaron G (Rejected by PSA as questionable authenticity - we don't see it but bid accordingly); #52 Clemente VG; #70 Kaline VG-EX; #88 Snider VG; #90 Roberts G; #100 Wynn VG-EX; #115 Bunning VG; #187 Koufax VG; #230 Ashburn VG-EX; #231 Mazeroski VG; #270 Spahn VG-EX; #285 F Robinson VG; #288 Killebrew VG; #307 B Robinson VG; #310 Banks VG; #320 Ford G; #321 Kluszewski/Williams VG; #343 Cepeda VG; #351 Braves Fence Busters VG; #418 Mantle/Aaron G; #436 Mays/Snider VG; #440 Mathews VG-EX; #476 Musial AS VG; #482 Banks AS VG; #484 F Robinson AS VG; #485 Williams AS VG; #486 Mays AS G; #487 Mantle AS G; #488 Aaron AS VG.
