A Ton of 1961 Topps High Numbers, Stars and Graded Cards for Trade!!

[JollyElm]

I am really trying to complete my 1961 Topps set and I'm so freakin' close -- needing less than 15 cards to finish it off and/or upgrade it. Most of what I'm missing are high numbers and HOF'ers, so I'm pulling out all the stops to try to make some trades. The following scans show the wide variety of high numbers, stars and SP's in decent shape I have to offer. The graded cards are at the bottom. The conditions of these cards vary, but quite a few are in pretty nice shape.

Every card shown in these scans is available for trade, and I also have a ton of stuff from 1957 through the early 70's--with plenty of stars, HOF'ers and high numbers--if you are looking to pick up those instead.

Bottom line is my first priority is knocking high numbers and HOF'ers off of my 1961 need list (below), but I could also be amenable to trading single cards or a package deal for some serious HOF'ers from the 50's through the early 70's (I need some Mays, Aaron, Mantle and Clemente cards, as well as other players). This could be a great opportunity for someone to knock a bunch of '61 high numbers off their need list as these guys are ridiculously hard to come by.

The scans are generally in numerical order, but any new additions are added on towards the end, so check them all out to see what I have...

Numbers 523, 523, 523, 525, 525, 527, 527, 529, 529.


Numbers 530, 530, 533, 533, 533, 534, 534, 535, 536.


Numbers 537, 537, 537, 537, 538, 539, 540, 542, 543.


Numbers 546, 546, 549, 550, 550, 550, 552, 552, 552.


Numbers 555, 555, 557, 557, 559, 559, 560, 561, 561.


Numbers 561, 562, 562, 563, 564, 565, 566, 566, 566.


Numbers 568, 569, 572, 573, 575, 576, 584, 584, 480.


Numbers 541, 542, 544, 406, 558.


Numbers 471, 545, 570, 577, 568.


Numbers 532, 539, 545, 559, 561, 564, 584, 409.


Numbers 20, 35, 88, 260, 388, 405, 408, 471, 478.


Numbers 307, 576, 536, 549.


Numbers 533, 533, 549, 561.


Numbers 539, 556, 561, 567.


Numbers 571, 574, 581.


Numbers 570, 544.



PLMK what you have from my need list and what you're looking for in return and let's talk! Maybe we can put a mutually beneficial deal together. I'm not looking to sell anything at the moment, but will consider buying the cards I need at the right price.

I Have These 1961s to Trade (in various conditions):
3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 20 (Roberts), 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 29, 31, 32, 33, 35 (Santo RC), 36, 37, 38, 42, 45, 46, 47a, 47b, 48, 50, 51, 54, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 64, 68, 69, 71, 72, 73, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 81 (rough), 84, 86, 87, 88 (Ashburn), 89, 90, 91, 92, 98, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 108, 110, 111, 113, 114, 115, 117, 118, 119, 122, 125, 126, 127, 128, 130, 131, 132, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 143, 144, 146, 149, 153, 156, 157, 158, 159, 161, 162, 163, 165, 166, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172, 174, 175, 176, 178, 179, 181, 183, 184, 185, 187, 188, 189, 190, 192, 193, 194, 195, 196, 198, 199, 201, 202, 203, 206, 209, 216, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223, 224, 225, 226, 227, 231, 233, 240, 242, 243, 246, 247, 249 (rough), 250, 251, 254, 255, 256, 257, 260 (Drysdale), 264, 267, 268, 269, 272, 273, 278, 280, 281, 282, 284, 285, 286, 288, 289, 291, 292, 293, 294, 295, 299, 301, 303, 306, 307, 310, 312, 313, 314, 315, 316 (Smith autographed), 317, 318, 319, 320, 321, 322, 323, 324, 325, 326, 328, 329, 330 (Colavito), 331, 332, 333, 334, 335, 336, 337, 339, 343, 345, 346, 347, 348, 352, 355, 356, 357, 358, 361, 362 (rough), 363, 365, 367, 369, 370, 372, 374, 377, 379, 381, 383, 388 (Clemente), 389, 390, 392, 393, 395, 397, 398, 400, 404, 405 (Gehrig), 406 (Mantle), 407, 408 (Mathewson), 409(Johnson), 411, 414, 416, 418, 420, 422, 428 SP, 432, 433, 434, 436 SP, 437, 438, 441, 449, 450, 452, 462, 463, 467, 468, 469, 471 (Rizzuto MVP), 473, 477 (Fox MVP), 478 (Maris MVP), 479, 480 (Campanella MVP), 481 (Sauer MVP), 483 (Newcombe MVP), 486 (Groat MVP), 487, 488, 492, 494, 496, 497, 500, 501, 502, 503, 504, 505, 506, 508, 509, 513, 514, 517 (McCovey), 518, 521, 522, 523, 525, 527, 529, 530, 532, 533, 534, 535, 536, 537, 538, 539, 540, 541, 542, 543, 544, 545, 546, 549, 550, 552, 555, 557, 558, 559, 560, 561, 562, 563, 564, 565, 566 (Richards AS), 568 (Skowron AS), 569 (Herrera AS), 570 (Fox AS), 571 (Mazeroski AS), 572 (B. Robinson AS), 573 (Boyer AS), 574 (Aparicio AS), 575 (Banks AS), 576 (Maris AS), 581 (F. Robinson AS), 584 (Perry AS)

I Need These 1961's (exmt.++ shape, sharp corners, decently centered):
2 (Maris), 287 (Yastrzemski), 344 (Koufax), 417 (Marichal), 425 (Berra), 430 (Mazeroski), 472 (Berra MVP), 489 (Dropo), 528 (Ramos), 577 (Aaron AS), 579 (Mays AS), 580 (Kaline AS)

Also...some of the high numbers in my set (Mazeroski, Wilhelm and Friend immediately come to mind) have nice corners but are way off center, so if you have any highs that are decently centered and in nice shape but aren't on my need list, I may want to trade for them as upgrades. Keep that in mind, too.

If you don't have anything from my list...I will consider trading for other things I don't need--especially if I have multiples of a particular card to trade--but you have to offer things that I could easily use as trade bait with other people for me to part with any high numbers. They are just too tough to come by.

I am particularly interested in these:
• HOF'ers in nice shape from the 50's and 60's, graded or ungraded
• Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente & Mickey Mantle cards
• 1958 Topps HOF'ers
• 1971 Topps Greatest Moments
• Tough to find errors and variations from the 50's through the early 70's
• 1964 Topps Stand-Ups (need virtually any in nice shape)
• 1961-67 Topps high numbers and SP's
• 1963 Fleer BB stars and HOF'ers in nice shape
• 1954 Bowman BB stars and HOF'ers in nice shape
• 1954 Red Heart BB (need virtually any in nice shape)
• 1972 Topps FB high numbers (need these in exmt+ shape: 271 Warfield AP, 277 Eller AP, 304 Dale, 308 Morrall, 312 Marsalis, 336 Marshall, 341 Butkus)
• 1972-73 OPC Hockey starter set with stars and/or high numbers
• T-206's
• And I'm probably open to a wide variety of other things as well
