Offered is a 591-card complete master set of 1968 Topps baseball cards. After four straight years of fashioning cards with white borders all around, Topps departed from that convention in 1968. The new borders—best described as resembling faux wood—chip easily and are prone to display evidence of wear. When presented in the condition offered here, the 1968 series becomes a highly desirable set. Includes: Graded PSA MINT 9: 77 cards w/#'s 11, 17, 28, 36, 49/White, 53, 57, 60, 61, 77, 83, 92, 93, 98, 108, 109, 111, 149, 163, 218, 229, 231, 235, 257 Niekro, 272, 288, 299, 302, 322, 329, 339, 380, 383, 388, 400/Yellow, 402, 403, 406, 407, 423, 424, 427, 454, 458, 461, 466, 467, 468, 471, 473, 474, 476, 481, 482, 485, 486, 489, 491, 492, 493, 499, 509, 511, 512, 513, 517, 521, 522, 541, 547, 552, 557, 566, 578, 587, 590 and 594; PSA NM-MT+ 8.5: 12 cards w/#'s 56, 63, 78, 81, 119, 137, 172, 285, 362, 375, 376 and 437; PSA NM-MT 8: 496 cards.
