This lot features three distinct elements of high-grade Topps baseball cards from the close of the 1970s, including a partial set from 1980, the final year of the Topps monopoly in the baseball card business. That partial set includes roughly the first 500 cards of the 726-card set, including an attractive Ex-Mt to Near-Mint Henderson Rookie that provides a nice glimpse into the wider condition range; the set is housed in nine-pocket sheets and binder. That attended to, there’s still the matter of nearly 400 or so 1978-79 Topps Burger King cards that were redistributed at the company’s outlets in the Metro New York area. The cards are largely identical to the regular-issue Topps cards from those years, with different numbering on the backs and a handful of different poses in each year, along with some relatively insignificant cropping changes. The cards are broadly Ex-Mt to Near-Mint for 1978 and Near-Mint or better for 1979, with a few below. Here’s the breakdown of keys: 1978 Burger King (115) – Jackson (5), Munson (6), Hunter (5), Guidry (5), Gossage (4), Martin (3), Lyle (5), Figueroa (4), Rivers (5), Nettles (3), Piniella (4) and White (3); and 1979 Burger King (260) – Jackson (11), Munson (10), Hunter (13), Guidry (15), Gossage (11), Chambliss (12), Nettles (11), Rivers (12), Piniella (11), White (12), Randolph (12), John (13), Tiant (12) and Johnstone (15), plus two (2) Team cards.
