Spectacular 1965 Topps Baseball Mega-Set - Near Mint + many extra’s (Total Break-up

[KaBooM]

This collection is ideal for someone who would like to have a museum quality Near Mint 1965 Topps set. The 65 Topps complete set has 598 cards. This collection is missing 70 cards, however there are high quality duplicates of 400 cards. The missing cards are almost exclusively commons with 1 exception, #330 Whitey Ford. On the other hand the 400 duplicates are star-packed with a break-up value roughly 12x the value of the missing 70 cards. Hence, there is excess value here to readily create a complete Near Mint (7 grade standard) and have much money left over. Here is the summary:

This mega set compares favorably to anything that I’ve seen on the market (Ebay or on-line merchants) in a very long time.

Coming soon, similar mega sets of similar quality for 1963 & 1964, along with a Complete set (also with many extras) of the very hard to find in great condition 1957 set.

I'm having trouble uploading my JPG photos to this post but will gladly send photos of any cards to interested parties. Email me at poechsli@cox.net
