This is a fresh lot which derives from the same collection of those high graded complete sets which sold for record prices in Lelands' March 2017 auction. Our consignor was very fond of specials subsets, team cards, small sets and World Series Champions, with a complete run of World Series Champions team sets from 1966 on up, the 1971 "In Action" cards (a total of 52 cards in this set were game action shots, mostly from Yankee Stadium, with Nolan Ryan) and "Rookies" subsets, plus a ten-spot of 1972 Topps Traded High number subsets with the Steve Carlton, Joe Morgan and Frank Robinson cards. These World Series team sets include all the HOFers, rookies and high number cards, and even multiple player rookie cards where applicable. Many of the teams have multiple team sets included with SIX (6) 1967 St. Louis Cardinals complete team sets. All the cards are relatively high grade, mostly EX-MT to NM-MT (a few lesser), with each grouping providing an overall breakdown, plus all major stars individually graded. There is a ton of value here, with plenty of cards ready for third-party grading and authentication.
