Wanted: 1957 Topps Basketball #2 George Yardley

I have one card left to finish a 1957 Topps basketball set:

#2 George Yardley

Either graded or raw is fine. Condition can be from EX- to NM+. I prefer no creases, holes, or serious stains and reasonable centering, but some corner wear is fine. PM or reply here if you have this card for sale or trade.

Thanks, email sent.

I got the card today - thanks! This completes my (98% raw) run of basketball sets from 1957 - 1990! I guess you could also count 1948 Bowman, but I just bought the reprint set, since I don't have the patience for that set right now.

nice job on those early basketball sets!! A raw 57-58 set just closed on ebay for $1,130., without pics of any of the key cards. I've got about a dozen singles mid-grade, including russell, and would like to make a run at the full set someday.

I lied! I though my sets were done, but after reviewing my three oldest sets, I'm still missing one forgotten card:

1957-58 Topps Basketball #28 Vern Mikkelsen

I'll post here again asking about that card in case someone has one available, so the search continues... Once this is done, I need to avoid the urge to upgrade the sets for a few weeks at least, so I can enjoy what I have.

My sets are about like this:

>= 1978 NMMT or better
>= 1976 NM or better
>= 1970 EXMT or better
>= 1957 EX or better

No creases, surface creases, or writing on any of the cards. I don't mind imperfect corners, but centering is good overall, especially on the 1976 and later.
