Description

1965 Topps is a 598-card set released in six series. One of the more popular sets of the decade, '65 Topps is known for it's "pennant" design and colorful borders. The set features the rookie cards of Steve Carlton, Jim "Catfish" Hunter, Joe Morgan, Tony Perez, and Mansori Murakami -- the Major League's first Japanese player.

Unlike other Topps sets of the era, there are very few error and variations and the "high-number" series are relatively abundant.
