Whenever a list of the greatest sets of all-time is compiled, you can bet the 1957 Topps issue is at or near the top. It’s certainly among the most popular with collectors of vintage cards.
It was Topps’ first set created strictly from single player photographs and a strong testimony to advances in photographic technology.
October’s Vintage Set Break of the Month, in cooperation with Burl’s Sports will give collectors a chance to land one of the many Hall of Famers or scarce high numbers from the ’57 set. Single slots are priced at $14.99.
The ’57 set includes Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente, a high number Sandy Koufax, rookie cards of Frank and Brooks Robinson and numerous other stars.
Overall, the set is in VG-EX to EX condition with a small amount better or worse.
Once all slots are sold, likely within the next week, the cards will be distributed in a random draw, conducted live online.
Roughly half of the slots in the break had already been spoken for just a few days after the break was announced.
