A popular set among collectors, the 1971 Topps baseball card set presented something special on both the front and back sides of the cards. The fronts of the 752-card set—at the time, the biggest ever—featured a black-border. The back offered a nice facial portrait of the player, along with a brief bio and statistics.
Imagine a youngster in 1971 trying to build a set the "old fashioned way", a pack at a time, a series at a time. All the way to 752 cards? Whoa! Take it from someone who was one of those youngsters at the time... it was like climbing Mount Everest... and I never got there (so cool to see all the cards now, I might add!).
Fortunately for you, all of the 752 cards are here, beautifully and neatly presented in 9 pocket sheets and a crisp, new binder for your enjoyment. The list of iconic players is too long to list, but let's drop names like Munson, Clemente, Aaron, Mays, Rose, Bench, Seaver, Reggie Jackson, Nolan Ryan just to get started.
This set looks delightful as it is, but there are countless grading opportunities available if you elect to go that route. The cards present as VG-EX to NM.
