The 1961 Topps is notorious for printing flaws, and these cards are no exception; centering, print snow, fisheyes and roller lines keep many of the cards from qualifying for higher technical grades. Still, the cards themselves are beautiful, even those with centering or print flaws display wonderfully. The color and gloss on these cards are particularly vivid, as the cards have not been exposed to much light or surface wear over the years. As a result, many of them appear like new with flaws for their time period. Two of the Mantles are graded by PSA. Mantle card #300 is graded VG-EX 4 with great color and eye appeal and the Mantle All Star card is graded VG-EX 4 as well. Ungraded Cards - 10 B. Robinson (VG/EX), 35 Santo RC (VG/EX), 44 Mantle/Maris LL (EX), 80 Killebrew (VG/EX), 120 Mathews (VG/EX), 160 Ford (VG/EX), 200 Spahn (VG), 207 Koufax/Podres (EX), 211 Gibson (EX), 260 Drysdale (VG), 290 Musial (VG/EX), 307 Mantle WS (EX), 344 Koufax (EX), 350 Banks (EX), 360 F.
