We were amazed when this complete set walked through the door at the 2017 National Convention in July. Our consignor purchased this set back in the 1990s from a major national dealer and just stuck it away for safe keeping. Almost every card contains razor sharp corners, tremendous color under sheets of heavy gloss. Pulling cards which were solidly MINT, we decided to grade most of the major stars, and only a small portion of the MINTY fresh commons and high numbers. The grades speak for themselves, and the majority of cards are high end PSA 8s and very crisp PSA MINT 9s plus even a PSA GEM MINT 10. There are many more cards here for third-party grading, and due to time constraints for our deadline, we left a bunch of grading opportunities on the table. This is one of the nicest raw sets we have come across, fresh to the hobby with several dozen freshly graded cards....all high grade. Includes: Graded Cards - PSA GEM MINT 10: 1 card, #489 Simmons. PSA MINT 9: 16 cards w/#35 Swoboda, 81, 160 Ford, 184, 213, 318, 452, 454, 475, 486 John, 504, 515, 516, 518, 556 and 566 Cuellar. PSA NM-MT+ 8.5: 1 card, #569.
