BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! 1973 Topps Baseball All-Time Leaders Lot of 3 Lou Gehrig #472 Ty Cobb #475 Cy Young #477
This lot features a collection of three vintage baseball cards from the 1973 Topps "All-Time Leaders" subset. Although the visual design is occasionally associated with the 1972 era, the specific card numbering and vertical blue/orange "pill" graphic confirm these as part of the 1973 Topps release by Topps Chewing Gum (T.C.G.). The subset (cards #471-480) celebrates the greatest statistical achievers in Major League Baseball history using a distinctive design that pairs black-and-white historical photography with a yellow corner statistics box. Included in this lot are: Card #472 Lou Gehrig (The All-Time Grand Slam Leader), Card #475 Ty Cobb (The All-Time Batting Leader), and Card #477 Cy Young (The All-Time Victory Leader). The card backs are printed on traditional yellow/tan cardstock and feature comprehensive lists of career leaders in each respective category.
