Offered is an extremely high grade 1962 Topps Civil War News completely PSA-graded set, which is ranked as the No. 12 current finest set with a GPA rating of 8.33.
Due to the graphic nature of the artwork, and the historical content of the subject matter, this set remains one of the most popular of all non-sports sets.
