Love of the Game - Summer, 2018 Premier Auction

431. Attractive 1972 Topps Complete Set (787) Sharp and clean complete set of 1972 Topps baseball cards. One of the most interesting sets of its era, the 1972 issue features a bold design that was reflective of the time, with bright, full-color photography. The issue is filled with subsets and specialty cards, with “in action” photography of the game’s biggest stars, and a “Boyhood Photos of the Stars” subset that enabled youngsters to imagine what it would be like when they were on a baseball card someday: afterall, the superstar players looked like normal kids! Presented here is a complete, 787-card set, with the majority of the cards grading in the EX or better category. Carefully assembled, the primary cause of condition downgrades relates to the typical Topps centering issues of the era; color is generally bright, corner touches are mostly light ones, and with a few minor exceptions, the set is wrinkle and crease-free. A condition breakdown is as follows: NM- MT: 5%; NM: 16%; EX/MT: 35%; EX: 35%; VG/EX: 8%, Lesser: 1%. Specific key cards grade as follows: #37 Yastrzemski EX/MT; #38 Yaz In Action EX/MT; #49 Mays EX; #50 Mays In Action EX; #51 Killebrew
