Building a high quality set of 1966 Topps football

A difficult set to build is an exciting challenge. The 1966 Topps football series is a tough series to collect in high quality due to the cheaper paper quality and damage from cutting and is ripe for the challenge. A complete set of PSA 8’s (priced individually) is worth around $10,000.

Centered with Good Corners

The mandate is to shoot for graded PSA 9’s but settle for a complete set of PSA 8’s. The minimum criteria for a 1966 card must be PSA 9 centering and a clean mark-free surface, letting the corners, the back, and other elements dictate the balance of the grade. A number of cards in the series are virtually impossible to find in a grade higher than 8.
