Offered is one of the finest original raw 1965 Topps sets we have ever encountered, with 99% of the cards containing razor sharp corners, and all having that vending appearance of bright colors, high gloss and smooth surfaces. The bright powder-blue reverses are all virtually chip free. Simply amazing! This set is from the same collection as the high grade 1964 Topps and 1964 Topps Stand Up sets sold in Lelands June 2017 Invitational Auction, which realized very strong prices. A total of 28 cards, all submitted by Lelands, have been graded by PSA, and as PSA tends to grade with a very critical eye, we feel there are resubmission opportunities and plenty of high grade raw cards in this set still worthy of third-party grading.

Includes: Graded Cards - PSA GEM MINT 10: 1 card, #481 Indians. PSA MINT 9: 6 cards w/#11 AL SO Leaders, 134 Mantle HR, 230, 500 Mathews, 510 Banks and 594.
