This 1960 Topps set brims with superb quality from start to finish. A small run of cards experience some off centering, but a full 85% of this set is Near Mint or better. As with the 1959 and 1961 Topps very high grade sets in this auction, we feel this set might have been a Topps Presentation Set removed from their original boxes. Our consignor had additional cards from other years (including duplicates), but no duplicates from these three very high grade sets. A total of 25 cards have been graded and encapsulated by PSA. Includes: Graded cards - PSA NM-MT+ 8.5: 1 card, #28 Robinson; PSA NM-MT 8: 3 cards w/#240 Aparicio, 343 Koufax and 420 Mathews; PSA NM 7: 15 cards w/#10 Banks, 34 Anderson, 35 Ford, 55 Mazeroski, 148 Yaz, 160 Mantle/Boyer, 295 Hodges, 316 McCovey, 326 Clemente, 405 Richardson, 480 Berra, 490 Robinson, 563 Mantle AS, 565 Maris AS and 566 Aaron AS; PSA EX-MT 6: 5 cards w/#50 Kaline, 200 Mays, 377 Maris, 445 Spahn and 561 Kaline AS; PSA VG 3: 1 card, #300 Aaron.
