This beautiful 1962 Topps Complete Set contains cards #1-598 and averages Excellent/Mint Plus condition. The scans of the star cards are very representative of the overall condition of the set - even the scarce 7th Series. We seldom see this set is this nice of condition. The 1962 Topps cards tend to damage very easily becuase of the wood grain borders. The set also tends to have centering issues - which also effects the grade. The 1962 Topps contains an unusually high 598 cards. Important sub-series for this set include the popular Babe Ruth series, summarizing the life and career of Ruth (135-144), Sporting Magazine All Star Series AL (466-475) and NL (390-399), and Rookie Prospects (591-598). The Rookie Prospects set is particularly hard to find and for the first time Topps put multiple players on each rookie card. Rookies for this year include: Boog Powell, Lou Brock, and Gaylord Perry. Players included in this set that are now in the Hall of Fame: Koufax, Clemente, Mantle, Mays, Banks, Stengel, Mathews, Cepeda, B. Robinson, Musial, Maris, Killebrew, Fox, Hodges, Spahn, Kaline, Perry, Ashburn, Ford, Roberts, B. Williams, Mazeroski, Berra, Wynn, Brock, Aaron, F.
