Anyone who's worked on the iconic Topps World on Wheels set from 1953-1955 knows how hard it is to find the high numbers 161-180 in high grade. Oftentimes the set is quickly assembled from #’s 1-160, only to sit for months if not years waiting for the elusive high numbers to show up in a decent grade. Well, here's a master set of all 190 cards that includes #'s 161-170 (only came as redbacks) and both the blue and red-back variations of cards 171-180 - presto, a complete master set! Cards from 161-180 grade mostly at EX to NM, and the hardest cards (171-180 redbacks) grade at: #171 (NM), #172 (EX to EX-MT), #173 (EX-MT), #174 (PSA 8), #175 (SGC Auth), #176 (EX-MT to NM), #177 (EX), #178 (EX-MT), #179 (NM) and #180 (EX-MT to NM). Cards 1-160 grade a very consistent EX-MT to NM, with only a handful lesser. Also included is a set is 1955 Mother's Cookies Sports Cars, complete at 42. Uniformly NM except for a few with slight chipping, this set of popular sports cars of the era presents beautifully and would be a welcome addition to any auto-themed card collection. If you’ve been waiting a while to pick up some beautiful, complete sets of 1950's auto cards, here’s your chance! Total of 232 cards.
