Complete at 206 cards with four numbers unissued. Popular Topps offering which includes the Rookie cards of three key Hall of Famers - Sandy Koufax, Harmon Killebrew and Roberto (not Bob) Clemente. While Koufax and Clemente were virtual plebes at this point, Killebrew was one of the original bonus babies, requiring the Senators to keep him on the major league roster for two years. This is why Killebrew is included in the 1955 and 1956 Topps sets, but is missing from the 1957 set, as he was shipped to the minors for more seasoning. Includes: #2 Ted Williams (VG-EX), 4 Kaline (EX), 28 Banks (EX), 47 Aaron (VG, light back damage), 50 J. Robinson (VG-EX), 123 Koufax (EX), 124 Killebrew (EX, 90/10), 152 Agganis (EX), 155 Mathews (EX), 164 Clemente (VG-EX), 187 Hodges (EX-MT), 189 Rizzuto (EX-MT), 194 Mays (VG), 196 Berra (VG), 210 Snider (VG). Grades 15% NRMT or better, 60% EX to EX-MT, 25% VG to VG-EX.
