Mostly baseball rookie cards, highlighted by those listed in the title, but also some basketball RCs, comprise this encapsulated offering, with all cards recently examined by PSA and thus in tiptop condition holders with no unsightly/notable flaws. There is a stack each of various Barry Bonds and Ken Griffey Jr. rookies, but we'll get to those after the chronological rundown of the earlier issues. From Topps' 1969 set is a Rollie Fingers RC, with #597 slabbed VG-EX 4. Mike Schmidt is also joined by two other players on a 1973 O-Pee-Chee card (#615), graded VG 3.
