Graded MINT 9 by PSA. Hall of Famer, depicted in his debut-year gum card appearance. Among more than 2,600 copies recorded in PSA's census reporting, just one example has been placed at a higher tier. Presented is the rookie card of the famed and beloved outfielder who spent 22 years demonstrating greatness for loyal Tiger fans. This beautiful, red-background piece has always, and rightfully, been considered one of the star's most attractive cards. On this splendid 1954 Topps Al Kaline card, the quality of the item's colors, and its print resolution, are truly exceptional from both front and back perspectives. All four corners are strongly shaped, and each one is sharply defined at its tip. Here, for many collectors, is the most desirable first-year card imaginable. Mint condition.
