Description
BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Eleven 1960 Topps Chicago Cubs Baseball Cards including Ernie Banks and Promotional Samples
This lot consists of eleven 1960 Topps baseball cards featuring members of the Chicago Cubs. A significant and rare feature of this collection is the presence of multiple cards designated as promotional samples. The reverse of these cards features an affixed paper label with printed text that reads PROMOTIONAL SAMPLE THE TOPPS CO BROOKLYN NY. This group includes a card of Hall of Fame shortstop Ernie Banks. Other players featured in this lot include Richie Ashburn, Lou Johnson, Frank Thomas, Sammy Taylor, Don Elston, Seth Morehead, Jerry Kindall, Al Schroll, Del Rice, and Bob Will, who is designated on the card face as a 1960 Rookie Star. The 1960 Topps set is characterized by its horizontal design, featuring a large color portrait alongside a smaller black and white action image.
Condition report:
The cards are in raw, ungraded condition and exhibit age-appropriate wear typical of mid-grade vintage specimens. Corners generally appear soft or rounded, with the Ernie Banks card showing significant rounding at the corners. Light edge wear and minor chipping are visible across the collection. Centering varies between individual cards. Surface inspection reveals some light toning and instances of minor foxing. The Ernie Banks card is currently housed in a clear plastic screw-down holder, while the remaining ten cards are stored in semi-rigid top-loaders.
