While often criticized for being too conservative in the presentation of its 598-card collection, the 1968 Topps set is popular due to introducing the card collecting world to Hall of Famers Nolan Ryan and Johnny Bench while delivering highly desirable issues of Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron and Willie Mays. Offered is a collection that is well over 90% complete and rates 20% NM or better, 25% EX/MT, 30% EX and 25% lower with #177 Ryan RC VG/EX and 280 Mantle NM (OC) leading the way. Other key cards include #100 Gibson VG/EX, 220 Killebrew NM, 230 Rose EX (OC), 250 Yastrzemski VG/EX, 355 Banks VG/EX (wax), 370 Aaron AS EX and 490 Superstars VG/EX+.
