Up for your consideration is a very clean raw 1957 Topps partial set which includes 326/407 cards (80% of set). This set includes 22 stars/HOFers (most scanned), several minor stars semi-stars, rookie cards, Yankees/Dodgers, 8 low # team cards, 4 scarce series team cards, 57 scarce series commons, and 233 low # commons.
These cards have been hand-picked over the last 6+ years at many national shows, eBay, card shops, from personal collections, card websites, etc. I did not grade many except a few stars as it wasn’t worth the $ to do so and I prefer raw cards. I do believe there are several dozen NM quality cards which would be off-set with EX+ ones. I don’t think there are 8 NM-MT or better ones, but maybe I missed a couple.
The vast # of cards fall in the EXMT to EXMT+ range.
Surface: None of the cards should have a crease. My biggest focus was buying cards with good focus, bold “fresh” colors, and little or no print defects/lines.
Corners: Mostly sharp with tip touch or light (but even) corner wear. Very few “worn” or rounded corners.
Backs: Clean absent of stains or other major issues except where noted below.
Edges: Avoided edges with major dings/pinches.
Centering: In the last couple of years I focused on getting better centered cards especially L/R but did not finish this task. Below is a list of o/c and back minor-stained cards that I wanted to upgrade but did not get to. There might be a few more you would add to the list but also a few that I have listed that you might be fine with. These “o/c” cards are around 85-15.
Price: I would sell this partial set for $2400 dlvd via paypal regular or a litte bit cheaper if you want to meet me at the National on Thursday (can avoid paypal/shipping cost) or would pay with check/mo. If I cannot get this $ I would rather keep the cards or sell them individually.
Scans: Below is a scan of the minor stars which are representative of the other cards in the set. I can scan more cards to any highly interested potential buyer.
(Note: I also have 8 graded stars—about a grade lesser than these cards—and all off-grade checklists, contest cards, and lucky penny, + and EX oc F Robinson RC if you are interested in those, but these are not part of listed price above).
