The preponderance of rookie cards particularly that of Pete Rose along with the reintroduction of vivid color designs make the 1963 Topps issue among the more popular baseball sets of the decade. Colorful bottom borders are both attractive and challenging as they are susceptible to chipping. As is typical with Topps cards centering is also a challenge as many cards from the set are often found off-center or even miscut. Still we present to you an extremely appealing higher-grade complete set. Our assessment is that 5% of the cards in this set grade NM-MT with 13% NM 25% EX-MT 39% EX 17% VG-EX and 1% lesser. Key cards in the set grade as follows: #25 Kaline EX-MT; #115 Yastrzemski PSA NM-MT 8; #120 Maris VG-EX; #125 Roberts EX; #135 Ashburn EX; #138 Mays/Musial PSA NM 7; #173 Bombers Best EX-MT; #200 Mantle PSA NM 7; #210 Koufax EX; #250 Musial EX-MT; #275 Mathews EX; #300 Mays EX+; #320 Spahn NM; #323 Mazeroski PSA EX-MT 6; #340 Berra EX; #340 B Robinson NM; #353 Williams EX; #360 Drysdale EX-MT; #380 Banks EX; #390 Aaron EX-MT; #400 F Robinson EX-MT; #415 Gibson EX; #440 Marichal NM; #446 Ford PSA NM-MT 8; #472 Brock EX; #490 McCovey EX-MT; #499 Killebrew EX; #537 Rose RC PSA EX-MT 6; #540 Clemente PSA NM 7; #550 Snider NM; #553 Stargell RC SGC NM-MT 88.
