(LOT 825)
Complete 1957 Topps Football Set ALL PSA Graded - Outstanding 7.11 Weighted G.P.A!

PSA GRADED SET!!!... Offered here is an outstanding 100% complete PSA graded 1957 Topps football set reflecting a 7.11 Weighted G.P.A! Renowned for its abundance of Hall of Famers and rookie cards, an amazing 34 subjects are pro-football Hall of Famers, with 8 of those subjects also recognized as their true rookie cards including Unitas, Hornung, Starr, Berry, Butler, Lane, Lary, and McDonald. All 154 subjects portray stellar aesthetics, with the technical assessment breakdown including 25 PSA 8's; 128 PSA 7's and 1 PSA 6! Imagine, virtually the entire set has received "NM-7" or "NM/MT-8" grades with the exception of a single PSA 6. Highly coveted by advanced football enthusiasts, the 1957 Topps Set is exceptionally noted for including the rookie cards of Johnny Unitas, Bart Starr, Paul Hornung and Raymond Berry, all of which have received PSA 7 assessments.

Hall of Famers and their PSA grades are as follows with the respective rookie cards noted and highlighted: #3/McCormack (7); #5/Marchetti (7); #6/Nomellini (7); #11/Brown (7); #15/Butler/Rookie (7); #16/Johnson (7); #18/St.Clair (7); #20/Creekmur (7); #22/Van Broklin (7); #26/Matson (7); #28/Groza (7); #30/Tittle (7); #31/Blanda (7); #32/Layne (8); #35/Tunnell (7); #46/Hirsch (7); #49/Bednarik (8); #65/Donovan (7); #68/Lary/Rookie (7); #71/Robustelli (7); #85/Lane/Rookie (7); #88/Gifford (7); #92/Stautner (7); #94/Berry/Rookie (7); #95/McElhenny (7); #96/Jones (7); #106/Christiansen (8); #119/Starr/Rookie (7); #124/McDonald/Rookie (7); #128/Moore (7); #129/Perry (7); #138/Unitas/Rookie (7); #147/Ford (7); #151/Hornung/Rookie (7).

Our ultimate compliments to our esteemed consignor who obviously "cherry picked" most of these nearly 60-year old cardboard gems that portray superb eye appeal, with many of the subjects aesthetically superior to their respective technical assessments. So now is your golden opportunity to feel young again by capturing this incredible compilation; turning back the clock to a bygone era when Johnny Unitas and Bart Starr were tossing touchdowns, Raymond Berry was catching pigskin passes and Paul Hornung was running thru defenses, just to mention a few of the gridiron icons in this colossal offering.

For your convenience, listed as follows are the 25 PSA 8's (the remaining subjects are all PSA 7's with the exception of one PSA 6, subject #145 Youngleman), and we would expect this truly remarkable gathering to find a final resting place in one of the hobby's elite football collections! #9/Dillon (8); #24/Dorow (8); #25/Scott (8); #32/Layne/HOF (8); #38/Stonesifer (8); #39/Tarasovic (8); #44/Gedman (8); #48/Brito (8); #49/Bednarik/HOF (8); #53/Ameche (8); #54/Soltau (8); #56/Ane (8); #58/Sherman (8); #61/Walston (8); #64/Bassett (8); #69/Forester (8); #72/Baker (8); #75/Watson (8); #76/Renfro (8); #77/Tasseff (8); #84/Peters (8); #106/Christiansen/HOF (8); #131/Doran (8); #141/Krouse (8); #148/Toneff (8).
