Description
BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Large Collection of Approx. 3,000+ Baseball Cards, Late 1970s-1980s, Topps and Donruss
This large multi-row monster box contains a collection of approximately 3,000+ baseball cards primarily spanning the late 1970s through the late 1980s. The assembly features heavy concentrations of 1981, 1982, 1985, and 1989 issues from major manufacturers Topps and Donruss. Notable highlights include a 1989 Topps Mark Grace All-Star Rookie card #465 featuring the Topps All-Star Rookie gold cup and a 1982 Topps Whitey Ford All-Time Record Holder card #6. The lot includes a significant volume of 1981 Donruss (the brand’s inaugural year) with cards such as Joe Nolan #406, Joe Simpson #403, Ron Jackson #415, and Kiko Garcia #28. Also present are 1985 Donruss cards including Scott Bradley #130 and Frank DiPino #120, as well as a modern Mike Schmidt "Originals" insert card.
Condition report:
The collection ranges in condition from Very Good (VG) to Near Mint (NM). Centering is typical for the era; the 1981 Donruss cards frequently exhibit factory-standard off-centering, while the 1989 and 1982 Topps cards housed in protective top loaders show better-than-average centering. Corners are generally sharp throughout the box, though some loose 1981 Donruss cards show slight softening. Edges appear clean across visible samples, including the condition-sensitive dark borders of the 1985 Donruss cards. All cards are currently in raw, ungraded condition.
