Each card has been graded NM-MT 8 or finer by PSA. Presented is a 54-card complete master set (including the Zernial and Holmes variations) of 1951 Topps Red Backs baseball cards. With its 8.46 GPA, this assembly merits "#6 Current Finest" placement on the PSA Set Registry! Topps debuted this, its first full series of baseball cards, in 1951, and designed the issue with a creative "ballgame" format in an effort to catch the attention of collectors. Effectively standing as an eye-catching prelude to the company's revered 1952 creation, the production featured a number of 1951's most popular players. Includes: Graded PSA MINT 9: 22 cards w/#'s 5 Rizzuto, 6, 11, 14, 15 Kiner, 16, 19, 21, 22 Feller, 24, 28, 29, 30 Spahn, 31 Hodges, 33, 35, 36 Zernial/Philadelphia, 38 Snider, 45, 46, 48 and 51; PSA NM-MT 8: 32 cards. Highlights include: #'s 1 Berra, 8 Wynn, 36 Zernial/Chicago, 39 Kluszewski, 50 Irvin, 52 Holmes/Boston and 52 Holmes/Hartford.
