The 1958 Hires Root Beer set is only 66 cards in its entirety, but it really packs a lot of punch with Hall of Famers Richie Ashburn (#10), Larry Doby (#17), Pee Wee Reese (#23), Willie Mays (#25), Bill Mazeroski (#36), Hank Aaron (#44), Don Drysdale (#55) and Duke Snider (#61) leading the way. It's not often you can assemble the set with the "tabs", an attached card that intended for a mail-in offer. Not only is this offering a complete and completely PSA graded set with tabs; it ranks #1 on the PSA Current and All-Time Set Registry with a 9.495 overall GPA. The keys of this set are the PSA 9 card of Willie Mays, one of only 4 specimens to be graded MINT with none graded higher, the Hank Aaron PSA 8 (one of 9, none graded higher), and one-of-one PSA 10 cards of #20, 53, and 66. There are 13 other one-of-one cards, and of the 66-card collection, 55 of them, or 83% of the collection, possess the highest grade on record, leaving slight room for improvement.
