(LOT 1541)
1962 Topps Football Near-Set with Two Graded Cards; Missing Unitas, Ditka, Brown, Davis, & Tarkenton.Offered as Lots 1244-1248
Much like Topps' 1962 Baseball issue, their football offering from that same year posed similar condition-sensitivity issues. Produced with black borders, cards often suffer from chipping and color loss of the surrounding framing, making the chore of assembling a high-grade collection that much more arduous. However, we are excited to offer this well-preserved 1962 Topps football ungraded set that seems to have eluded many of the condition issues with 35% NM or better, 40% EX to EX-MT, with the remainder being lesser. Keys to this desirable edition include two graded cards in the #76 Checklist and #176 Checklist, both graded 8 NM-MT by PSA. Also included are #s: 5 Berry (NM), 39 Meredith (EX-MT OC), 63 Starr (EX OC), 64 Hornung (NM OC), 66 Taylor (EX), 75 Packers (EX-MT off-cut), 88 Gabriel RC (EX-MT), 102 Tittle (NM), 104 Gifford (NM), 110 Huff (EX OC), 115 Jurgensen (NM) and 127 Layne (NM). Missing Unitas, Ditka, Brown, Davis, Tarkenton offered in Lots 1244-1248. This set is extremely fresh, with the majority of the downgrade due to centering.
