BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! 1956-1996 Topps Baseball Card Lot featuring 1975 Gary Carter Rookie and 1960 Hank Aaron Buck
This collection consists of eight vintage and modern baseball items primarily manufactured by Topps. The lot features a 1975 Topps Rookie Catchers-Outfielders card number 620, which serves as the rookie card for Hall of Famer Gary Carter. Also included is a 1982 Topps Earned Run Average Leaders card number 167 featuring Nolan Ryan and Steve McCatty, and a 1975 Topps Brooks Robinson All-Star card number 50. The vintage selection includes three 1956 Topps cards: Enos Slaughter number 15, Hank Sauer number 57, and Gil Hodges number 80. Supplemental items include a 1960 Topps Baseball Bucks Hank Aaron paper insert and a 1996 Topps Mickey Mantle sweepstakes reprint featuring the 1963 card design.
Condition report:
All items are in raw, ungraded condition. The 1996 Mickey Mantle reprint is in Near Mint condition with sharp corners and excellent centering. The 1975 Gary Carter rookie card is off-center toward the top and right with light corner wear and minor chipping on the top edge. The 1982 Nolan Ryan card shows sharp corners with centering favored to the right. The 1975 Brooks Robinson is off-center toward the top with a soft bottom right corner. The 1956 Topps cards (Slaughter, Sauer, and Hodges) exhibit rounded corners and heavy damage on the reverse sides, including significant paper loss and adhesive residue likely from album mounting. The 1960 Hank Aaron Baseball Buck retains its original factory folds and shows minor age-related toning but remains well-preserved.
