Each card has been graded by PSA. Presented is a 581-card complete master set of 1959 Topps baseball cards. With its 7.44 GPA, this assembly merits "#17 Current Finest" accolades on the PSA Set Registry! The 1950s were arguably the defining decade in baseball history. Within this decade, fans witnessed the exploits of Mantle's Triple Crown year, "The Catch" by Mays, as well as Aaron, Musial, Snider, Campanella, and Ted Williams. This was a decade that bridged the gap between the Ruthian years and those of today. It was a time where the Yankees ruled, regrouped for a year and began a new string of titles. Their regrouping period was the year this offered set was produced. The 1959 Topps set embodied the spirit of the day, as it included multiple cards of the games favorite players. From combination cards such as Fence Busters, Cubs Clubbers and Corsair Trio to the end of the set's All-Star cards, this collection is awash with stars, each captured in full color.
