FS: Unique Topps Run

[KMayUSA6060]

A year or two ago, I had the idea of starting a Topps PC - 1 card for every year Topps made cards. The basis behind each card is a unique fact for that specific player; some of the facts have to do with their service to our country, while others might be random baseball accomplishments for that player. I no longer have an interest in honoring Topps this way, and am looking to sell. Conditions range from Poor/Fair to Good. The '52 Topps has a light pencil outline traced around the body of Moss. Other than that, the rest of the cards just have a slight crease or corner wear.

Asking $45 OBO shipped.
