Offered is a rather unusual and large group of 1961 and 1962 Topps Stamps, which includes a complete set from each year plus 476 '61 extras and 293 '62 extras. What's out of the ordinary is that it appears that the entire collection was harvested from the Topps Stamps albums from their respective years--the stamps are all missing their glue on the reverse and would be considered altered. That said, these are very presentable examples from both issues. 1961 highlights include: Aaron, Banks, Mantle, Maris, Mays, Musial and Yastrzemski. 1962 Highlights include: Hank Aaron, Mickey Mantle, Roberto Clemente, Sandy Koufax, Stan Musial, Duke Snider and Carl Yastrzemski.The condition, therefore, takes this into account. The stamps are clean and would have been generally EX condition, prior to gluing and later cleaning.
