1957 Topps Complete Set 1-407 $6200

[Mphilking]

I'm selling this for a friend. He is a very critical grader. So cards he says are EX are EX.

***Price lowered to $5800. Price in thread title is no longer correct.***

This complete set of 407 cards contains 123 graded (122 PSA, 1 SGC) and 284 raw. The average grade is right around Ex-mt. Among the slabbed cards are nearly all of the stars and significant rookie cards, and most of the semi-stars, too. Among the raw cards, the only ones that I consider to be below Ex are #297 Crimian, #303 Goodman, and #318 McDermott...all Vg-ex.

The following raw cards have varying degrees of wax stains on the back: #81 Wehmeier, #142 Thompson, #174 Jones, #177 Yost, #262 Thomson, #279 Thurman, #318 McDermott, #329 White Sox Team, #346 Littlefield, #377 Rodgers, and #392 Tanner. I would characterize these as very light (most) to light. I apologize if I've missed any others. I looked closely, but sometimes miss things.

The graded cards break down as follows (* indicates a card that looks exceptional for the grade):
