A Ton of 1961 Topps High Numbers for Trade

[JollyElm]

I am really trying to complete my 1961 Topps set and I'm so freakin' close -- needing less than 25 cards to finish it off. 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 in decent shape I have to offer. I even have multiples of quite a few of them. The conditions of these cards vary, but quite a few are in pretty nice shape.

Every high numbered 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 those up 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.

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.


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, 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, 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, 203, 206, 209, 216, 218, 219, 220, 221, 222, 223, 224, 225, 226, 227, 231, 233, 240, 242, 243, 246, 247, 250, 251, 254, 255, 256, 257, 260 (Drysdale), 264, 267, 268, 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, 317, 318, 319, 320, 321, 322, 323, 324, 326, 328, 329, 330 (Colavito), 331, 332, 333, 334, 335, 336, 337, 339, 343, 345, 346, 347, 348, 352, 355, 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, 404, 405 (Gehrig), 406 (Mantle), 407, 408 (Mathewson) SP, 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, 533, 534, 535, 536, 537, 538, 539, 540, 542, 543, 546, 549, 550, 552, 555, 557, 559, 560, 561, 562, 563, 564, 565, 566 (Richards AS), 568 (Skowron AS), 569 (Herrera AS), 572 (B. Robinson AS), 573 (Boyer AS), 575 (Banks AS), 576 (Maris AS), 584 (Perry AS)
I also have these highs in rough shape with creases, rounded corners, etc.: 523, 534, 540, 548, 548, 549, 550, 550, 551, 552, 557, 558, 558, 560, 561, 562, 566, 581, 582 & 583. (I have scans of these if you want to see them.)

I Need These 1961's (exmt. shape):
2 (Maris), 160 (Ford), 265 (Kubek), 287 (Yastrzemski), 344 (Koufax), 400 (Law), 415 (Aaron), 417 (Marichal), 425 (Berra), 430 (Mazeroski), 464 (Thomas), 465 (McMillan), 472 (Berra MVP), 484 (Aaron MVP), 489 (Dropo), 528 (Ramos), 544 (Thomas), 577 (Aaron AS), 578 (Mantle AS), 579 (Mays AS), 580 (Kaline AS), 586 (Ford 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.

I also have a wide variety of HOFers from the 50's through the 70's, if you would prefer to trade for those instead--Mays, Mantle, Aaron, Ford, Clemente, Robinson, Kaline, Ryan, Koufax, etc. If you're looking for high numbers/tough series from other years, I have a ton in all sorts of shape!! Many from 1957, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1971 and most of the 1972 set--many in really nice shape. Plus I have stars, variations/errors, Teams, LL's and other things to trade. Check out my bucket!

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
• Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente & Mickey Mantle cards
• 1958 Topps HOF'ers
• Errors and variations from the 50's through the early 70's
• 1964 Topps Stand-Ups (need virtually any in nice shape)
• 1966-67 Topps high number SP's
• 1954 Bowman BB (looking for a starter set in ex+ shape)
• T-206's
• 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, 280 Lilly AP, 304 Dale, 308 Morrall, 312 Marsalis, 336 Marshall, 341 Butkus)
• 1962 Topps 'green tints' graded 7, 8 and higher
• 1963 Fleer BB HOF'ers in exmt or better shape

Anybody have any of the cards I still need? Have a ton of 61's to trade. Not only the highs shown here, but some stars and SP's, too. Look at the list of numbers at the bottom of the original post.

Bump.

Scans updated after a trade. Anyone else looking to pick any of these tough cards up?
