Inserted into packs of Topps' regular 1969 baseball release, the 1969 Topps deckle edge baseball set derives its name from the scalloped edges that are found around each of the cards. With a complete set made up of thirty-three (33) cards, player highlights within the checklist include names such as Rod Carew, Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays and Carl Yastrzemski. Offered here, we present this near-complete set of Topps' 1969 Deckle Edge Baseball release. Including the versions of Hoyt Wilhelm and Rusty Staub at #'s 11 and 22 in the set, the group is found to be in the overall condition range of EX-MT for the most part, with the exceptions to this being #'s 13-Stottlemyre, 16-Howard, 18-Kessinger, 20-Helms, 21-Rose, 25-Koosman, 28-Flood and 32-Marichal while the rest of the cards show light corner and edge wear that is to be noted as well as the odd surface scratch as well. Also including cards from both the 1966 and 1971 O-Pee-Chee baseball releases that total out to eighteen (18) cards in all, the 1966 contingent includes the likes of 28-Neikro (G to VG - light bend at the top right and small dings to the top corners), 30-Rose (EX to EX-MT - tiny warp at top left), 91-Uecker (VG to VG-EX - off-center and a ding at the bottom left), 99-Buc Belters - Willie Stargell / Donn Clendenon (VG to VG-EX - ding at bottom right), 106-Staub (VG to VG-EX - dings to top two corners), 120-Killebrew (VG to VG-EX - dings to the two left side corners), 125-Brock (GOOD - large ding at top left) and 132-Cepeda (GOOD - bottom right and the right border are dinged) while the cards from 1971 O-Pee-Chee include those of 5-Munson (VG to VG-EX - small ding bottom right), 16-Singleton RC (GOOD - crease that shows more on the reverse), 20-Jackson (VG-EX to EX - off-center and bottom left corner wear), 91-Lemon (FR - creased), 100-Rose (VG to VG-EX - light bend at top left), 160-Seaver (VG to VG-EX - dinged right border), 183-Hodges (EX to EX-MT - light fuzz to bottom right corner), 250-Bench (EX to EX-MT - slight amount of white showing on the black border) and 530-Yastrzemski (VG-EX to EX - off-center and light corner ding at top right - more scarce high #).
