JD1. 1957-58 TOPPS 1st BASKETBALL COMPLETE SET 1-80 8 BILL RUSSELL #77 = 4 VG-EX

Description: TODAY'S ITEM FOR AUCTION IS: It took many years for my best friend from grade school to put this set together, and now in retirement, it is time for him to sell one of the best known sets on the market. The 1957-58 Topps Basketball set. 1-80 cards. The grading was done in parts. 11 cards went to PSA and received solid grades. The rest were researched by the owner, a card store near his home and myself who owned a shop in 1984-1992. Then we took prices for each card at the grade average that we arrived at and compiled prices on each from PSA, eBay, and on the open market. The end grade is 3.94. VG - VG-EX. INCLUDES ALL THE ROOKIES, HALL OF FAMERS, SHORT PRINTS AND DOUBLE PRINTS. See more below. We feel very confidant with all the numbers we pushed, that this set is priced right for the grade. We pride ourselves on our 24 years of work on eBay as paperchasesue, and of our stellar feedback over the years. We are open to answering questions, so please just email and we will do our very best to provide you with an answer as fast as possible. Here is a break down of grades; 2 GOOD 2.0, 6 ARE VG 3.0. 24 ARE 3.5, 32 ARE VG EX 4.0, 11 ARE 4.5, 4 ARE EX 5.0, 1 IS A 6 EX-MT. TOTAL 315.5 GRADES DIVIDED BY 80 = 3.94. TOTAL AVERAGE. The 11 slabbed cards by PSA are: #1 NAT CLIFTON 2, #5 BILL SHARMAN 6, #17 BOB COUSEY 4, #19 TOM HEINSOHN 4, #24 BOB PETTIT 3.5, #27 ED MACAULET 5. #41 JOE GRABOSKI 5, #42 MAURICE STOKES 5, #43 ROD HUNDLEY 5, #44 TOM GOLA 4.5, AND LAST BUT NEVER LEAST BILL RUSSEL #77 CAME IN AT 4.0. TOTAL FOR 11 CARDS 48.9 DIVIDED BY 11 = 4.45 GRADE VG-EX. More to consider: #42 Maurice Stokes graded at 5. So, this one is the only one that the 1956-1957 Rookie of the Year would ever appear on due to a devastating head injury that took place on the final day of the 1958 season. Thanks for reading the above description and know that 67 years after printing by Topps this is one of the most sought after sets in the hobby. Jake and Susan Brouwer.
