Superb set especially considering how often these are poorly cut and how sensitive to damage the wood grain borders are. The confluence of baseball and TV is celebrated in this underrated design. Plenty of NM commons. Few cards worse than VG/EX the set is actually from an original collector who compiled it as a child. We have had a number of his other sets in the past and they do not disappoint! Photos of the PSA cards will be added as soon as they arrive fresh from grading!

Fun Trivia, Topps was already putting the finishing touches on their domination of the market and Bowman was suffering financially. If you notice the Connie Mack Stadium light standards are in the background of nearly every photo. Since it was home to an AL and NL team as well as the Bowman headquarters they saved money and took all the pictures for the set in Philly.
