FS: 47-year Topps Set run 1973-2019 UPDATED - SELLING INDIVIDUALLY
UPDATE August 12: No longer for sale as a lot. PM me if you're interested in individual sets.
The 47-year run of sets 1973-2019 is available for $2,400. Here's a unique opportunity to pick up a 50-year run of Topps complete baseball sets. Every Topps base set 1970-2019 is included. Scans of key cards from each set and an overall description is included below. I've tried to grade out everything but in the end, you be the judge with the scans. If you have any questions or want more scans/descriptions, please reach out. All sets 1970-1985 are in white albums with Ultra-Pro Platinum 9-pocket pages. '70-'74 are mostly EX-EXMT, '75, 76 mostly EXMT, '77-79 mostly NM, 80s basically all NM or better with more details below. $6,000 1970: I would estimate 10% NM or better, 30% EXMT, 50% EX, 10% worse than EX with very few if any below VG. Some typical centering issues, the occasional crease/wrinkle, corner dings etc but overall I would grade the set EX+ or EXMT. There was a time when I had more time on my hands than I knew what to do with that I scanned in my sets. These scans were done around 10 years ago. The current set has been updated and a few stars have been graded since I did these scans but it should give you a good idea of overall condition. No card in the set I'm offering is worse than what you can see in the scans and quite a few have been upgraded and are better: https://s262.photobucket.com/user/rs...art=all&page=1 Keys: 1 World Champion Mets: EXMT/NM 140 Jackson: PSA 6 (subbed myself, I thought it would be a 7 but centering holds it back I suppose) 189 Munson: PSA 7 197 Ryan Saves the Day: nice card, NM 300 Seaver: Very minor corner dings, EX+/EXMT 350 Clemente: NM o/c 500 Aaron: corner dings, EX, possibly EX+ 580 Rose: corner dings, EX, possibly EX+ 600 Mays: EX+/EXMT 630 Banks: by far the weakest star in the set, VGish with a light crease on the bottom 640 Kaline: EXMT, maybe close to NM 660 Bench: PSA 5 (subbed myself, I thought it had a shot at a 7) 700 F Robinson: EX+, maybe close to EXMT 712 Ryan: PSA 7 713 Pilots Team: EXMT/NM Scans of keys: 1 2 3 Random page from album: 1 2 1971: A difficult set to grade. I see very few cards I would grade less than EX, maybe 5% VGEX or worse with no real dogs in the set that I see. 10% NM, 65% EX, 20-25% EXMT I would estimate. I would call it an EX+ set I suppose. Again, about 10 years ago I scanned in the set. I've since upgrade many of the cards so the set for sale is at least as good as the one scanned with probably 20-30 cards having been upgraded. Set scan here: https://s262.photobucket.com/user/rs...art=all&page=1 Keys: 5 Munson: corner dings, maybe EX but no better 20 Jackson: PSA 6, subbed myself, was hoping for a 7 100 Rose: EX+, possibly EXMT 160 Seaver: EX+ 250 Bench: EX/EX+ 341 Garvey: EX/EX+ 400 Aaron: EX/EX+ 513 Ryan: VG/EX, there is a gum stain on back 525 Banks: EX/EX+ 530 Yaz: EX/EX+ 550 Killebrew: EXMT 570 Palmer: EXMT 600 Mays: EX/EX+ 625 Brock: EX+ 630 Clemente: VGEX/EX 640 F Robinson: EX/EX+ 650 Allen: EX 688 Anderson: EX+/EXMT 700 Powell: EX 709 Baylor/Baker RC: EX/EX+ 740 Aparicio: VG/VG+ top middle creased/wrinkled near 's' in SOX 750 McLain: EX/EX+ Scans of keys: 1 2 3 Random page from album: 1 2 1972: 10% NM, 25% EXMT, 60% EX, 5% worse. Another EX+ish set. No real dogs, a handful of light creases/miscuts/rounded corners but another overall attractive well-presenting mid grade+ set. 10-ish years ago I scanned in the set. I've since upgraded 20-30+ cards so what you're getting is at least this good. https://s262.photobucket.com/user/rs...art=all&page=1 Keys: 49 Mays: weak bottom left corner, EX+ 79 Fisk RC: EXMT/NM 299 Aaron: bottom left corner ding EX+/EXMT 309 Clemente: EX+ 433 Bench: VGEX couple very faint wrinkles 435 Jackson: NM 445 Seaver: NM o/c 550 B Robinson: NM 559 Rose: EX+/EXMT 560 Rose IA: EXMT 595 Ryan: EX 600 Kaline: VG/EX light wrinkle 686 Garvey: VG/EX light wrinkle 695 Carew: EXMT/NM 696 Carew IA: NM 751 Carlton TR: VG/EX very light wrinkle 752 Morgan TR: EXMT 754 F Robinson TR: EXMT/NM 760 Mazeroski: NM o/c 761 Cey RC: EX/EX+ corner ding 777 Wilhelm: EX+/EXMT o/c Scans of keys: 1 2 3 Random page from album: 1 2 1973: 10% EXMT-NM, 70% EX, 10% VG/EX, 10% less. Centering issues being the primary culprit of less than EX cards. 10-year old scans of the set here. I've upgraded 10-20 cards so the set being sold is at least this good, slightly better. https://s262.photobucket.com/user/rs...art=all&page=1 Keys: 1 Ruth/Aaron/Mays: EX 50 Clemente: EX 67 Carlton/Ryan: EXMT/NM 100 Aaron: VGEX 130 Rose: EX+ 174 Gossage: VG 220 Ryan: PSA 7 255 Jackson: EX/EX+ 305 Mays: EXMT o/c 472 Gehrig: EX+/EXMT 474 Ruth: EX/EX+ 588 CL: EX+ 613 Boone RC: EXMT/NM o/c 615 Schmidt RC: PSA 4, subbed myself Scans of keys: 1 2 Random page from album: 1 2 1974: Mostly EX to EXMT with maybe 10% better and 15% lower. Centering issues, and corner dings being the primary issues. There are no Washington Nat'l variations included 10-ish years ago I scanned in the set. I've since upgraded 10-20 cards. The set being sold is at least as good as that shown in the scan with 10-20 cards being better. https://s262.photobucket.com/user/rs...art=all&page=1 Keys: 1 Aaron: EX+ o/c (maybe mc) 10 Bench: EX+/EXMT 20 Ryan: EXMT 80 Seaver: EXMT/NM o/c 105 Fisk: EXMT 130 Jackson: EXMT 207 Ryan/Seaver: NM o/c 215 Kaline: EXMT 250 McCovey: EXMT o/c 252 Parker: EX+/EXMT 280 Yaz: EXMT/NM 283 Schmidt: EX+/EXMT 300 Rose: EX+ 456 Winfield: EX 598 Griffey RC: EX+/EXMT o/c Scans of keys: 1 2 Random page from album: 1 2 1975: 30% NM, 50% EX+/EXMT, 20% EX with maybe 10-15 cards lesser 10-ish years ago I scanned in the set. I've since upgraded 10-20 cards. The set being sold is at least this good with 10-20 cards being better. https://s262.photobucket.com/user/rs...art=all&page=1 Keys: 1 Aaron HL: VGEX/EX 5 Ryan HL: EX+ o/c 61 Winfield: EXMT 70 Schmidt: NM 194 Mantle/Newcombe MVP: EXMT/NM 195 Mantle/Aaron MVP: EX+/EXMT 200 Mantle/Wills MVP: NM pd 223 Yount: EX/EX+ 228 Brett: EX/EX+ 260 Bench: EXMT/NM 280 Yaz: EX/EX+ 300 Jackson: G eraser mark 312 Ryan/Carlton: NM 320 Rose: EX/EX+ 370 Seaver: EX+/EXMT 500 Ryan: EXMT 616 Rice RC: VG/VGEX wrinkle 620 Carter RC: EX/EX+ 623 Hernandez RC: EX+/EXMT 660 Aaron: EX+ Scans of keys: 1 2 3 Random page from album: 1 2 1976: Maybe 60% NM, 15% EXMT, 15% EX/EX+, 10% EX. Mostly a NM set, a few centering issues, the occasional corner ding. Includes the traded set in similar condition. 10-ish years ago I scanned in the set. I may have upgraded a handful but this is mostly the set, a couple may be better. https://s262.photobucket.com/user/rs...opps?start=all Keys: 1 Aaron RB: EX, slight ding to the top middle edge 19 Brett: EX/EX+ 98 Eck: EX+/EXMT 160 Winfield: EXMT/NM 230 Yaz: EX+/EXMT 240 Rose: EXMT 300 Bench: EXMT o/c 316 Yount: EX/EX+ 330 Ryan: EX/EX+ 341 Gehrig: NM 345 Ruth: NM 346 Cobb: NM 347 Williams: EXMT/NM o/c 480 Schmidt: EXMT/NM 500 Jackson: NM 550 Aaron: EXMT 600 Seaver: NM Scans of keys: 1 2 Random page from album: 1 2 1977: Mostly a NM set, probably 80-90% NM, with the remainder generally EXMT. Didn't see any less than EX 6 Ryan/Seaver: EXMT/NM 140 Schmidt: NM 144 Sutter: NM 234 Ryan RB: NM 450 Rose: NM 473 Dawson RC: EXMT 476 Murphy RC: EXMT 580 Brett: NM 650 Ryan: EXMT o/c Scans of keys: 1 Random page from album: 1 2 1978: Mostly NM 6 Ryan RB: EXMT 20 Rose: NM 36 Murray: NM 100 Brett: EXMT 360 Schmidt: EXMT 400 Ryan: EXMT 707 Molitor/Trammell RC: EXMT Scans of keys: 1 1979: Mostly NM or better 115 Ryan: EXMT 116 Smith: NM, maybe NM-MT, typical centering but in the grand scheme of '79 Ozzie's I'd put the centering in the top 50% 330 Brett: NM 640 Murray: EX+ 650 Rose: EXMT/NM Scan of keys: 1 Mostly NM or better 393 Smith: NM 482 Henderson: NM 580 Ryan: NM Scan of keys: 1 1981: Mostly NM or better, includes the traded set 240 Ryan: NM...maybe NM-MT 261 Henderson: NM-MT 302 Scioscia/Valenzuela RC: NM...maybe NM-MT 315 Gibson: NM Scan of keys: 1 1982: Mostly NM-MT or better 21 Ripken RC: NM 90 Ryan: NM-MT Scan of keys: 1 1983: Mostly NM-MT or better, includes the traded set 83 Sandberg: EX+/EXMT top right corner ding 163 Ripken: NM 482 Gwynn: NM 498 Boggs: NM Scan of keys: 1 1984: Mostly NM-MT or better 8 Mattingly: NM, maybe NM-MT Scan of key: 1 1985: Mostly NM-MT or better 181 Clemens: NM-MT, maybe MT 401 McGwire: NM, maybe NM-MT 536 Puckett: NM-MT Scan of keys: 1 1986-2019: All factory sets in original boxes. '86, '87, and '88 were taped from the factory, this tape has been removed and the boxes have been opened but contents seem fine. '89-'19 are all still shrink wrapped and have all been part of my collection and stored in a climate-controlled environment since they were purchased. I know several different factory complete sets are produced every year. New sets aren't my thing so I'm not sure how to tell the difference. If you can't tell by the picture what version of the complete set it is and want to know, just tell me what to look for. Pics: 1 2 3 SOLD: 80, 90, 93, 18, 19 |
That's an awesome run of Topps sets. My goal is to eventually have every Topps set from 1957 until now. So far I've got a lot of the 2000s-2010s as well as 1974 and 1975. Currently working on 1957.
I'm curious, and I'm guessing the answer would be yes since you said you had all the Topps sets, but do you have Topps Update sets too? Those weren't issued in complete set form from the early 2000s-now. Might want to show the key RCs from those Traded/Update sets like Trout, Yelich, Betts, Kershaw, Scherzer. Anyway, best of luck with this run of Topps sets. Would be a nice lot to pick up for someone wanting to put a run of sets together. |
