In 1967, Topps produced an incredible no-nonsense 609 card set. There would be no colored backdrops this time; every card was an on-field shot and featured the real life colors of baseball. Besides the usual suspects of superstars, the '67 set brought us rookie cards of Hall of Famers Tony Perez, Rod Carew, and Tom Seaver. Assembled here for your bidding pleasure is one of the finest 1967 Topps sets I have ever seen. In all, 76 cards are PSA graded with 22 grading MINT PSA 9 (including Drysdale) and there are NM/MT PSA 8 issues of Mantle, Mays, Clemente, Carew RC, and Seaver RC.
