The traded set is much sharper and cleaner than the regular set.

533 1977 Topps Complete Set NMVery nice set, these cards are about 60% Near Mint, the balance almost all Ex-Mt or Ex-Mt Plus, with some stray weaker cards throughout the set. Fresh and unpicked for grading, the key cards are very solid and we grade them as follows: 6 Seaver LL Ex-Mt+, 144 B Sutter RC NM, 234 Nolan Ryan RB NM, 450 Pete Rose NM, 473 A Dawson RC NM, 476 Dale Murphy RC NM, 580 George Brett Ex and 650 Nolan Ryan NM.

566 Collection of 94 different w/stars GVG*One of the classic early football card sets, these are such attractive cards. The offered set has a bright and fresh feel, but the cards have slight staple holes, they otherwise would grade in the VG range overall with variance. There are some creased cards as well, this is not for a high grade collector. Still the lot is a high portion of a great set (65%) and comes with these key cards: 2 Graham, 4 Van Brocklin, 10 Van Buren, 13 Turner, 21 Weinmeister RC, 25 Walker, 34 Baugh, 40 Waterfield, 42 Davis Army, 46 Pihos, 56 Conerly, 62 Creekmur FBC, 76 Hirsch, 90 Canadeo, 96 Stautner FBC, 102 Layne, 109 Motley, 140 Nomellini and 144 Dudley.

Great lot is not typical as it is only missing three cards with a high book value of $100 or more (53, 56, 95). Loaded with stars, this should be a pretty simple and inexpensive project to complete.
