The 1971 Topps Team sets will average EX/EX+ condition. I could grade this a bit higher as some of the cards have really nice borders with very little of the "white" showing. However, I know that collectors are very particular when it comes to the 1971 Topps cards. These are very nice mid-grade team sets and can be an excellent condition to the collector who wants or needs the 1971 Topps team set without busting their budget for a true NM team set.
The team sets included cards from all series, so they do include the High number cards. The question I often get on Playoff cards is what team set do they go in since there are 2 teams involved. What I do is I take the card and put it in the team set of the team that won the particular game the card mentions. Here is the listing of what Playoff cards will go into what team sets:
1971 Topps Playoff / World Series Subset Cards.
AL Playoffs (195-198) All are in the Orioles Team set as
they won all 3 games
NL Playoffs (199-202) All are in the Reds team set as they won all 3
games.
World Series (327-329, 331,332) These go in the Orioles team set as they
won games 1,2,3 & 5
World Series (330) This card goes in the Reds team set as they won game 4
In the team lists below, you can click on the team you are interested in to see the cards that are in the team set and a good idea of the condition of the cards you are getting. If you want to see cards in a closer view, I can accommodate your request. Just let me know and I will get pictures in a closer view and place them on my preview pictures page. Remember, you are the one purchasing the cards and I want you to be happy with your purchase from me. What you see is what you get.
There are two types of subset cards from the 1971
Topps Set that are not included in the team sets. These cards are
listed below.
League Leader Cards (#61 - 72)
These cards feature the NL and AL League Leaders for the most popular statistics (hitting and pitching). Since each Leader card features 3 players from 2 or 3 different teams, they will not be included in the team sets.
Rookie Stars (#529,
559, 633, 664, 692, 709, 728, 747)
Each team has their own card devoted to their Rookie Stars. The 8
cards listed as NL or AL Rookie Stars list players from different
teams, hence they are not included in any team set.
Also, none of the standard checklists for the set are included either.
All team sets are sent in a 35 count plastic case as shown below.
