FS: high grade 1980 Topps baseball near set w/ graded Henderson and others

Big80s

I set out a few years back to put together a graded set of 1980 Topps Baseball, as I collected it as a kid and I just felt like it was a classic 80’s baseball set. Anyhow, over the past year, I’ve changed my collecting focus and I’ve decided to discontinue my pursuit of this set. I have put together a hand-picked near set from five vending boxes I bought from BBCE (only keeping cards that I felt would safely grade at least a PSA 8) and as it stands – I have 374/726 cards. Seven of the cards are graded including a PSA 9 Henderson rookie and Ozzie Smith. I’ve attached scans of the graded cards, as well as the raw key cards below. I’m looking to get $400 for the lot (delivered). I’ve only selected the best versions of each card for this (near) set. They’re already in Card Savers and are ready to be shipped off to PSA.

Here are the card numbers that I’m missing: # 2, 6, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17 (Bruce Sutter), 25, 26, 29, 30, 31, 33, 34, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 48, 49, 50, 53, 56, 57, 58, 62, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 74, 76, 77, 79, 80, 82, 86, 87, 88, 89, 95, 96, 97, 99, 100 (Johnny Bench), 101, 102, 103, 106, 107, 109, 110, 113, 114, 115, 117, 118, 121, 122, 123, 125, 126, 127, 129, 130, 131, 134, 136, 137, 138, 143, 146, 148, 149, 150, 153, 155, 159, 162, 163, 166, 169, 170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 179, 181, 182, 185, 187, 194, 195, 196, 197, 199, 200 (Jim Rice), 203, 204, 209, 211, 215, 216, 217, 218, 220, 221, 222, 224, 226, 227, 228, 230 (Dave Winfield), 232, 233, 237, 238, 239, 240, 241, 242, 250, 253, 255, 258, 260, 263, 264, 265, 266, 267, 269, 270 (Mike Schmidt), 271, 273, 274, 279, 280, 281, 283, 285, 287, 288, 291, 292, 293, 300, 301, 302, 311, 312, 315, 320, 321, 322, 323, 324, 327, 330, 332, 333, 335 (Willie McCovey), 336, 337, 342, 346, 348, 349, 350, 353, 355, 357, 358, 359, 360, 361, 362, 364, 365, 366, 370, 371, 374, 375, 378, 381, 382, 383, 386, 389, 391, 392, 397, 399, 402, 406 (Paul Molitor), 408, 409, 415, 418, 419, 422, 425, 426, 429, 431, 432, 433, 434, 437, 441, 443, 445, 447, 449, 451, 452, 453, 454, 458, 460, 461, 462, 463, 466, 467, 468, 473, 474, 475, 478, 480, 481, 483, 486, 489, 491, 492, 493, 496, 497, 498, 505, 507, 508, 517, 520, 522, 523, 526, 528, 530, 531, 532, 536, 537, 539, 546, 552, 553, 554, 555, 556, 557, 559, 560, 561, 562, 564, 565, 566, 567, 568, 569, 570, 574, 576, 577, 580 (Nolan Ryan), 583, 584, 585, 587, 590 Jim Palmer), 592, 594, 595, 596, 600 (Reggie Jackson), 602, 604, 606, 607, 608, 609, 610 (Willie Stargell), 611, 612, 615, 616, 619, 620, 621, 625, 627, 629, 631, 632, 634, 635, 640, 641, 650 (Joe Morgan), 651, 653, 654, 655, 656, 660, 662, 669, 670, 672, 678, 681, 682, 685, 686, 691, 692, 698, 703, 706, 709, 710, 712, 714, 717, 718, 719, 721, 724
