416. 1959 Topps Complete Set (572) MINIMUM BID: $2,000
1% NM, 5% EX/MT, 14% EX, 37% VG/EX, 34% VG, 8% GOOD, a few lesser. The 1959 Topps issue is considered by collectors to be one of the most attractive of the 1950s designs; one of those sets that effectively reflects the graphic design sensibilities of the time it was published. Featuring a host of Hall of Famers, stars, special subsets and tough variations along with a difficult run of high numbers, the 1959 set has long been popular among collectors, driving up the prices of both complete sets and individual cards. Presented here is an attractive midgrade set with rich coloration and sharp images, a particularly attractive set with each card bright and pleasing to the eye. 18 of the cards have been graded by SGC: #10 Mantle (SGC EX/ MT 6), #20 Snider (SGC VG/EX+ 4.5), #50 Mays (SGC VG/EX 4), #80 Minoso (SGC NM 7), #163 Koufax (SGC EX 5), #349 Wilhelm
