This lot features a complete 1957 Topps Football card set, one that most collectors deem to be the finest football card set Topps has ever produced. The thing that makes this card set especially desirable is the fact that it contains thirty one Hall of Famers which include the rookie cards of #85 Dick “Night Train” Lane, #94 Raymond Berry, #119 Bart Starr, #138 John Unitas, and #151 Paul Hornung. Other notable Hall of Famers include #5 Gino Marchetti, #22 Norm Van Brocklin, #26 Ollie Matson, #28 Lou “The Toe” Groza, #30 Y.A. Tittle, #31 George Blanda, #32 Bobby Lane, #46 Elroy “Crazy Legs” Hirsch, #88 Frank Gifford, and #128 Lenny Moore, just to name a few. The 31 Hall of Famers make up 20% of the set overall making it very attractive to the most discriminating of collectors.
The set is in beautiful condition overall especially considering the fact that it has already been in circulation for 54 years. The Johnny Unitas card has been graded PSA 6 EX/MT, the Bart Starr is a PSA 6 EX/MT and the Paul Hornung is a PSA 5 EX. The rest of the cards are in similar condition. Incredible opportunity to obtain the best football set ever produced in its entirety.
