This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/29/2012

Complete 598 card set of 1965 Topps baseball in overall EX+ to EX-MT condition with approximately 20% higher and less than 10% lower due to poor centering (90/10 or worse) or more advanced corner wear. Included in this set are ten graded cards each of which has been pulled from this set for grading and shows the high grade potential of some of the commons. SGC graded cards include #95 Bill Mazeroski SGC 88, 99 Gil Hodges SGC 88, 130 Al Kaline SGC 88, 134 Mantle WS HR SGC 84, 160 Roberto Clemente SGC 88, 282 Masanori Murakami Rookie SGC 86, 330 Whitey Ford SGC 86, 477 Steve Carlton Rookie SGC 50 and 581 Tony Perez Rookie SGC 92. The lone PSA graded card is #350 Mickey Mantle PSA 7 which is exceptionally strong for the grade and worthy of review for a half grade or full grade bump. Equivalent SMR value on the ten graded cards exceeds $1300. Key ungraded cards include 16 Joe Morgan Rookie VG (presents EX-MT but has spider wrinkles over Jackson's face), 50 Juan Marichal EX-MT, 110 Ron Santo NM, 130 Frank Robinson EX-MT (centered as shown), 150 Brooks Robinson NM, 155 Roger Maris EX+, 170 Hank Aaron EX, 176 Willie McCovey EX-MT, 193 Gaylord Perry NM, 205 Warren Spahn EX, 207 Pete Rose EX, 250 Willie Mays EX+, 260 Don Drysdale EX, 300 Sandy Koufax EX (centered as shown), 320 Bob Gibson EX+, 377 Willie Stargell VG+, 385 Carl Yastrzemski EX, 400 Harmon Killebrew GD+, 410 Luis Aparicio EX, 470 Yogi Berra EX+, 485 Nellie Fox EX-MT, 500 Eddie Mathews EX, 510 Ernie Banks EX+, 526 Jim Hunter Rookie EX, 533 Tug McGraw Rookie EX, 540 Lou Brock NM. This set is a great opportunity to get a consistently matched set that requires little upgrading and offers strong star cards throughout.
