Seize nearly 90% of the 1953 Topps Baseball series with the offered near set of (241/274) cards. Missing primarily high numbers, this gorgeous early Topps issue still features major stars including Mantle, Mays, Paige and many more. The approximate condition breakdown for this edition is as follows: 10% (EX or better), 20% (VG-EX), 30% (VG) and 40% (GD or lesser) with the challenging high series presenting lesser than the more available numbers. Although nearly 5-10% display reverse writing, tape residue or paper loss, the overall presentation of the set is still nice. Keys include #1 J. Robinson (VG), #27 Campanella (VG-EX), #76 Reese (VG), #82 Mantle (VG), #104 Berra (VG), #207 Ford (GD), #220 Paige (GD), #244 Mays (colored) and #258 Gilliam RC (VG-EX). More on our website.
