Addendum: As a bonus this set includes the #176b Gene "Bakep" error card graded PSA NM-MT 8 (OC). The qualifer seems a little harsh. We feel it deserves either NM 7 or at least Mint 9 (OC) based on its near-perfect corners bright colors and smooth surface. The error version is not registered in PSA's system with the other 406 cards; only the #176a correct issue is.
Featured here is a high-grade set of 1957 Topps Baseball with 406 of the 407 cards in the basic checklist present. Every card is graded PSA NM-MT 8 or better. Missing is Mickey Mantle #95.
