1977 Topps set found in NM-M condition what do you think?

[marvymelvin]

So, I am looking for some advice on what to do with my 1977 Topps football set. I bought a small collection of misc. sports stuff just last week. In addition to the few items I was after the seller through in 6 narrow long card boxes of 1990's basketball and baseball "junk". I was planning to send the junk boxes to goodwill. After checking through the boxes just to make sure and finding nothing I came down to one last box labeled 1977 Topps. I thought if it were basketball or baseball like the rest of the junk it will go to Goodwill as well. I almost didn't look in the box but did so at the last minute and this is what I found. A full set of 1977 Topps football.

The cards must have been bought and then immediately put into a set and boxed, never to be touched again. I took a picture of card number one, as well as the last card, and a Franco Harris from the middle of the bunch (the white dots and what looks to be wear to Franco Harris card is just reflection for the camera and a bit of dust. It is actually very bright and colorful in person) just to show you that it is sharp and fresh all the way through. So back to my dilemma, what do I do with it? Leave it in the box, put it into binders, or maybe work on getting it graded over time? If it were not so nice I wouldn't even contemplate getting it graded, but I am sure there are many that would grade high as the centering, edges, and corner are great.

I also can't seem to find much talk about the 77 set on net54. And not many sales listed. Is it because no one wants this set or because it is tough to find in new condition? Thanks for your help,

Brad
