1961 Topps Set

Hey everyone, Drew back here. I decided to create a page featuring the cards from 1961 Topps that I have so far, just for future trade references and just another page for myself to use to help me build the set. Thus far, I have a majority of the star players but not many of the smaller names, which I'm going to need some help on. I'm not looking for mint condition on the cards, but I just want the card to be somewhat presentable, not an all out mess. Send me an email (yanks1996wsc@gmail.com) if you have any that you're willing to lose to help me out, because I'd really appreciate the help!

In terms of the set, there are 587 cards, although the final card is #589, of Warren Spahn. Cards #587 and #588 were never to be seen, so most collectors wrote them off since they were nonexistent cards. The hard part is that from card #523 and on through the rest of the set, those cards are high numbers. The high numbers tend to carry value due to scarcity, and so far, well, I only have a few of them. The main rookies in the set are of Billy Williams, Juan Marichal, and Ron Santo, as well as a second year card of Carl Yastrzemski. The reason I chased the set is because there are just so many Hall of Famers and superstars in this product that you really can't go wrong by saying it's a legendary set.
