1956-1980s Boston Red Sox Collection Including Dozens of Team Sets

Piggybacking on our Winter 2017 auction of one of the most extensive Boston Red Sox card collections ever offered comes this grouping of dozens of Red Sox team sets from 1967 and 1970 through 1975, with 1967 and 1975 being the two World Series appearances of that generation. With multiple runs of almost each year’s team set including eleven (11) from 1967, fifteen (15) from 1971 and nine (9) from 1972, this collection is brimming with all the great Sox players from that era. Included within the sets are all the Yaz cards, Carlton Fisk rookies in 1972 and even the Rice and Lynn rookies in the 1975 regular and mini sets. In fact, all the rookie cards which have at least one Red Sox player are included, which means the 1972 team sets contain THREE high number rookies each, including the #761 Cey/Oglivie rookie. There are over a dozen additional cards of Carl Yastrzemski, about 15 additional Fisk rookies, and few extra Jim Rice rookies. In addition, partial sets and extra cards abound with partials of almost every year and lots of extras like dozens of team cards, specials and high numbers. Most cards are NM to NM/MT (some lesser) unless noted with the 1967 and 1971 issues somewhat lesser (EX to NM or better). There are many, many cards here ready for third-party grading. This collection contains almost 1,800 Boston Red Sox player and team cards, most in higher grade.
