We love this set! When Topps released their 1957 baseball issue, they could never guess how popular and yet illusive their creation would become in the hearts of collectors. Arguably the most coveted and sought-after standard sized issue ever created. Centering issues and infamously flawed print make the '57 Topps issue among the most difficult to locate in consistently high grade. While the offered assembly is not NM-MT throughout, it does offer perhaps the best alternative to a $25k NM-MT set because the eye appeal on these EXMT/NRMT cards is arguably 90% that of a NM-MT card. The stars are consistently in the EXMT to NRMT range; the #95 Mantle is stunning and shows strong NRMT eye appeal (should probably be professionally graded). The centering and print is simply fantastic for the grade with very few cards centered worse than 70/30 and nothing worse than 80/20. Printing defects still exist, but most are minor, and the surfaces generally present extremely well. The gloss is strong and the borders are white. 74 PSA graded cards were sourced over the years as the set was slowly improved upon. The result is a largely uniform EXMT/NRMT 1957 Topps set with outstanding centering and overall presentation. Please see the scans for more details. All around great set and the best largely raw assembly we've ever handled. One of over 1500 graded cards, lots, and sets up for auction. Click on the link above to view the other PWCC auction lots.
