If you think putting together a 1958 Topps set is tough, try doing it with each card autographed! This is a very special presentation. The 1958 Topps baseball set is without question a classic issue from the golden age of baseball cards. The set is numbered to 495 but complete at 494 cards as card #145 was never issued. Here we present a near complete set of 451 cards. What is so special is that every card is autographed by the featured player! Not to be left out, even team cards boast an autograph. Dual-player cards are signed not by just one player but each player. Assembled over a period best described by decades over mere years, this was obviously a labor of love by our consignor and would be close to impossible to recreate today. Contained with the set are the following examples that have been encased by several authenticators. PSA: 1 Williams, 85 Aparacio, 93, 150 Mantle, 162 Hodges, 187 Koufax, 215 Gilliam, 230 Ashburn, 238 Mazeroski, 271 Martin, 304 Kaline, Kuenn, 310 Banks, 320 Ford, 343 Cepeda, 346 366, 406 JSA: 92, 135, 135, 190 Schoendienst, 207, 258 Erskine, 295 Minoso, 400 Fox.
