FS: midgrade 1961 Topps starter set (447 cards) w/ Mantle MVP - PRICE REDUCTION!
 

Hey folks,

I have a large starter set of 1961 Topps (447 different cards) that I’m looking to unload in order to make some cash for the National. It’s a nice group of cards averaging at EX, but since I’m a collector of any condition, I was just happy to cross numbers off. So you will see some cards in lower and higher condition as noted below. I have begun to upgrade, so these are my downgrades that I have accumulated. There are HOFers (Mantle MVP, Maris MVP, Santo RC, Kaline, Killebrew, and many more), several team cards, and overall just a nice mix of cards. Looking to get $485 delivered for the lot. Take a look at each card below, and let me know! Thanks!

Here’s a sneak peak at the first few cards through #100. This represents the entire lot #1 - 521 condition-wise. If you’d like to know some more of the common #s and their condition, just pass me a note. If I get some time tonight to list more numbers and/or pics, I will.

Yes, overall, the stars tend to grade lower than the commons, but this is a very nice looking starter set. You’ll be getting 447 different cards from the first 521 cards in the set. No high numbers included.

I also have another large starter set in similar condition with 401 different cards. Slightly lower grade overall, no Mantle MVP, nor a few other HOFers, but a nice lot just the same. I’ll be looking to get $375 for that lot. Details to come later. Or if you want them both, you can have them for $775 delivered.
