The 1960 Topps baseball card release is long admired for its strong crop of rookie cards, most notably that of Hall of Famers Carl Yastrzemski and Willie McCovey, as well as the usual lineup of period stars. The Topps decision makers reverted to the horizontal format not seen since 1956, with the exception of certain multi-player cards. The featured set is extremely impressive, headlined by an SGC 96 MINT 9 example of Roberto Clement's card #326. Other graded cards are SGC 88 NM/MT 8 #554 McCovey AS and 555 Fox AS, SGC 86 NM+ 7.5 #343 Koufax and 558 Mathews AS, and SGC 80 EX/NM 6 #50 Mantle. The rest of the set is 20% NM/MT or better, 20% NM, 40% EX/MT, 15% EX and 5% lower with cards #375-440 in both gray and white backs and #10 Banks EX/MT (OC), 148 Yastrzemski RC EX/MT (OC PD), 160 Mantle/Boyer NM/MT (PD), 200 Mays EX/MT, 250 Musial EX+ (PD), 300 Aaron EX, 316 McCovey RC NM, 377 Maris (gray) VG/EX+, 377 Maris (white) NM (OC), 480 Berra NM, 563 Mantle AS EX, 564 Mays AS EX/MT (OC), 565 Maris AS EX/MT+ and 566 Aaron AS EX/MT (OC).
