Presented is the #2 All-Time Finest PSA Graded 1974 Deckle Edge Test Issue. The 1974 Topps Deckle Edge set was a test issue which received very limited distribution only in the Massachusetts area. These cards measure a robust 2-7/8" x 5", and contain superb images of the greatest players of that era. This set is extremely high grades, the second best set ever recorded at PSA. The set was produced with gray and white backs, with the white-backed cards being much more difficult to locate among the already scarce test issue. This set contains five of the white back variations. Includes: PSA GEM MINT 10 - 17 cards with #6 Hunter, 7 Munson, 12 Sutton, 14 Rader, 21 Bryant, 22 Sanguillen, 26 Millan, 27 Tiant, 33 Spikes, 36 Bonds, 43 Yastrzemski (WB), 46 Campaneris (WB), 48 Burroughs, 53 Coleman, 60 Blomberg, 67 Ferguson (WB) and 69 Watson; PSA MINT 9 - 55 cards with #1 Otis, 2 Evans, 3 Gibson, 4 Nelson, 5 Carlton, 8 Grich, 9 Seaver, 10 Simmons, 11 Valentine, 13 Wood, 15 Chambliss, 16 Rose, 17 Hiller, 18 Hooton, 19 Foli, 20 Brock, 23 Tolsn, 24 Luzinski, 25 B. Robinson, 28 McCovey, 29 Speier, 30 Scott, 31 Stargell, 32 Carew, 34 Colbert, 35 Hebner, 37 Bell, 38 Osteen, 39 Allen, 40 Russell, 41 Nolan Ryan, 42 Davis, 44 Matlack, 45 Palmer, 47 Blyleven, 49 Colborn, 50 Johnson, 51 Mayberry, 52 Kessinger, 54 Perez, 55 Cardenal, 56 Splittorff, 57 Aaron, 58 Dave May, 59 Jenkins, 61 Reggie Jackson, 62 Oliva, 63 Murcer, 64 Fisk, 65 Rogers (WB), 66 F. Robinson, 68 Melton, 70 Bowa, 71 Bench and 72 Horton (WB). As seen by this list, the 1974 Deckle Edge set is teeming with great players, a total of 21 Hall of Famers and the checklist is a virtual who's who of the greatest players of all time. This set is very rarely offered in complete set form, and with all the extensive work being done for you, this extremely scarce and desirable high-grade test issue set is just a click away. Complete set of 72 cards, and the #2 All-Time Finest PSA Registry set.
