Presented is an impressive grouping from the popular 1961 Topps Baseball issue, an array that includes seven Hall of Famers and 37 High Numbers and is missing only 125 cards from being complete. This is a highly attractive partial set in largely Excellent to Near-Mint condition, with some below and the emphasis probably to Ex-Mt, making for a truly uniform and consistent presentation. Along with more than three dozen of the difficult High Numbers, the partial set includes 14 Team cards, seven League Leaders and six Combination cards. Most of the key Hall of Famers and many important stars are among the missing numbers; a total of 29 cards are absent from the Seventh Series, 13 of those fall within the All-Star subset. For a collector who might have many of the key HOFers and stars already in the house, the lot provides a great opportunity to pick up the lion’s share of the rest of the gang. In instances below where duplicates are indicated, the condition grade applies only to the higher-grade example. Here’s the breakdown (462/587): No. 20 Roberts – Near-Mint o/c, 7 White Sox – Excellent, 57 Tigers – Good, 43 NL Home Run Leaders (2) – Very Good and Good, 45 Leaders – VG, 46 Leaders – Ex-Plus, 47 Leaders (2) – VG, 48 Leaders – Good, 49 Leaders – VG, 50 Leaders – VG, 63 Kaat – Good, 86 Dodgers – Ex-Mt-Plus, 88 Ashburn – VG-Ex, 106 Herzog – Ex-Plus o/c, 120 Mathews – Good, 141 Williams Rookie – Ex-Mt-Plus, 122 Cubs – Nr-Mt, 131-136 and 139 Managers, 159 Orioles – Ex-Mt-Plus o/c, 167 Giants – VG-Ex, 219-226 Managers, 228 Yankees – Nr-Mt, 249 Reds – Good, World Series Subset Nos. 306, 308, 309, 311, 312 and 313, 327 Alou Rookie – Ex-Mt-Plus, 347 Cardinals – Good, Baseball Thrills Nos. 403, 404, 407-410, 467 Indians – Ex-Mt-Plus, American League MVPs Nos. 471 Rizzuto (Fair), 472 Berra, 474 (2), 476, 477 and 479, and National League MVPs Nos. 480 Campanella, 483 and 486, 491 Phillies – VG, 542 Twins – Ex-Mt o/c, 545 Wilhelm – Ex-Mt-Plus m/c, 554 Pirates – VG m/c, 565 Alou – Ex-Mt-Plus, and 13 cards from the All-Star Subset: 567, 568, 569, 571 Mazeroski (2), 572 Brooks Robinson, 573, 574, 580 Kaline, 581 Frank Robinson, 582, 583, 584 and 586 Ford.
