Thank you for your interest in my items! The item for sale, is a COMPLETE 1971 Topps set, all 752 cards. As part of this set price, I've included 85 graded cards, all the graded cards are 6's (EXMT, Excellent-Mint) or better! The average grade of all 85 graded cards is 6.7!!! Note that the graded cards include hall of Famers Reggie Jackson and Jim Palmer as well as some high number SP's like Dick Allen! Overall the graded cards include 16 high numbers, 9 of them are short prints (SP)! While I'm not a professional grader I believe this set is overall in Excellent-Mint (EXMT) condition. I'd say roughly 60% to 70% of the set is EXMT, 10 to 15% of the set is Excellent to Excellent plus, 15 to 20% of the set is EXMT plus to Near Mint and 5% of the set is better than Near Mint. I realize these percentages don't add up to 100% but as'grading' is very subjective I'm trying to give my assessment of the overall quality of this set. The 85 graded cards represents just over 11% of the set, a t. Otal of 61 of the 85 graded cards that are included in this offering are 6.5 or better (which is slightly over 8% of the 752 card set)! Hall of Famers and key rookies are scanned and I think they represent the overall condition range of this set. I've also included scans of the backs of some high dollar cards so that you can see the edges and corners as well as the coloring of the back.

Please review the scans carefully. At the bottom of the photo, I've pulled out the first few high #'s and SP's so all the potential buyers can see an example of the card quality in this set. The photos show the graded cards along with the certification #. Below is a list of all the graded cards that will be included along with the grade.

The average grade of all 85 graded cards is 6.7!! High quality 1971 Topps baseball is extremely tough due to the black borders and should continue to be in high demand for collectors and, in my opinion, will become more investment grade.

Why do I think this? Several reasons, first is the likely hood of an'attic shoebox find' is becoming increasingly slim. Even if some additional raw cards surface it's just too difficult to maintain these'71s in high quality condition.

Therefore the number of additional high quality cards like these in the market place will likely be small. From the mid-90s until about 2013 my personal interest in the hobby was put on hold as raising a family and my career to support my family were the priority. Currently, I have raw and graded baseball available dating back to the late 50's and raw football, basketball and hockey from the early to mid-70's in varying condition. My'inventory' also includes unopened wax, cello and racks. At the moment I just don't have time to list the all cards I'm willing to sell, but if there is something you are looking for, let me know and I'll see if I have the item available.

If you have additional questions, please feel free to contact me and I'll do the best I can to answer your questions. There is no return on any of these cards, so please carefully review the scans.

If you need more photos, let me know. Thank you again for your interest in my items and happy collecting! Please check back periodically as I'll be listing additional items.
