ADDENDUM: Please read the important updates to this description.
Presented here and fresh-to-the-hobby is this very nice 1958 Topps Baseball complete set of 494 cards (#245 not issued). Our consignor built this set totally from scratch as a young collector, pulling the majority of these out of '58 Topps packs and kept them in a three-ring binder for over half a century. Three cards have been graded: #150 Mickey Mantle - PSA GOOD 2, #86 Valmy Thomas - PSA EX-MT 6 and #487 Mickey Mantle All-Star - PSA EX-MT 6.
The remaining ungraded cards fall mostly in the GD to EX range, with a few as low as PR/AUTH and some as high as EX-MT in our estimation. Of course, there is no guarantee how PSA will grade any these. We have posted high-res images of 46 raw cards (the ungraded #487 Mantle AS card with image posted is not included in this set). Some keys are:
#1 Ted Williams - FR, #5 Willie Mays - PR/AUTH (tape on back), #25 Don Drysdale - VG, #30 Hank Aaron (rare Yellow Letters version) - FR, #40 George Kell - VG-EX, #42 Johnny Roseboro RC - #47 Roger Maris RC - EX (borderline MC), #52 Bob Clemente - GD, #70 Al Kaline - VG (crease), #85 - Luis Aparicio - VG (OC), #88 Duke Snider - PR/AUTH (pinhole), #90 Robin Roberts - EX, #108 Jim Landis - EX-MT, #115 Jim Bunning - EX-MT (OC), #162 Gil Hodges - GD (OC), #187 Sandy Koufax - FR (crease), #246 Yankees Team - FR (MK, OC), #270 Warren Spahn - VG+, #285 Frank Robinson - VG-EX, #288 Killebrew - GD (MC), #307 Brooks Robinson - FR, #310 Ernie Banks - PR, #320 Whitey Ford - FR, #321 Sluggers Supreme (two Teds) - VG+, #343 Orlando Cepeda RC - FR/GD, #351 Brave Fence Busters (Aaron, Mathews) - VG, #370 Yogi Berra - FR/GD, #375 Pee Wee Reese - GD, #378 Hank Sauer - EX-MT, #418 World Series Batting Foes (Mantle, Aaron) - FR/GD, #420 Vada Pinson RC - VG-EX, #436 Rival Fence Busters (Mays, Snider) - VG-EX, #440 Eddie Mathews - VG (PD), #464 Curt Flood RC - VG, #476 Stan Musial All-Star - EX (PD), #485 Ted Williams All-Star - VG, #486 Willie Mays All-Star - EX, #488 Hank Aaron All-Star - GD+.
It should be noted that approximately 20 cards have what appears to be black marker along a small section of one edge (usually the left). On many, you cannot even notice this blemish from a front or back vantage point unless you examine the sides/edges. Fortunately, the only notable card we found to be affected by this is #310 Ernie Banks. Two others are #11 Don Zimmer and #120 Johnny Podres.
