With rookie offerings such as #119 Bart Starr, #138 Johnny Unitas, and #151 Paul Hornung, it is no wonder why unopened material from the 1957 Topps Football set has become so highly prized and pursued. Add other desirable pieces such as #1 Eddie LeBaron, 58 William Sherman (error), #94 Ray Berry (rc), #154 Fred Morrison, plus the short printed checklist. It's a complete mystery as to why there are even any unopened packs around at all, especially one of such caliber as the one seen here. Graded GAI 9 Mint, this unopened cello example exhibits outstanding color and quality not often seen in other specimens from this era. Its wrapper has remained spotless and seemingly untouched, and the seal on back is tight and clean. A magnificent addition to any high-end collection.
