1950 Topps Hopalong Cassidy Near Set (223/230)

This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/24/2021

Hopalong Cassidy was created in 1904 and between film, television and radio, Hopalong (Hoppy to his fans) became so popular he was everywhere. He was a marketing manager's best weapon. He was on the cover of magazines, bread, cereal and on most everything else. Topps sought to capitalize on this phenomenon right after the television show moved to the radio. Radio was still going strong in the 1950's and Hoppy occupied a top ten spot for years on the radio. William Boyd played Hoppy and earned millions for doing so. The images in the Topps Hopalong Cassidy set are of Boyd and his adventures on the television show.

This near set of (223/230) cards is an extremely consistent set running from G to EX with most cards falling into the VG to VGEX Range and very clean. There are no foils in this near set.

Missing only 132, 143, 147, 148, 155, 163 and 180 to be complete.
