Offered is a near autographed set of 1972 Topps baseball cards, assembled and held for decades by an advanced autograph collector. The total amount of signed cards is 725 with a total of 825 signatures.
Interestingly, our consignor had multiple signatures on multiplayer cards, and usually had the manager or well-known player on the team sign the various team cards. For example, many of the League Leader cards have all three or four players who signed the card. Only a handful of multiplayer cards DO NOT have all signatures and most of the star cards are signed, including #49 Mays, 79 Fisk RC, 299 Aaron and 695 Carew.
The cards are signed with a mixture of ball point and/or felt tip, with our consignor having an affinity towards felt tip-signed cards.
All cards were viewed by James Spence Authentication (JSA) for a complete authentication of the entire near set.
