Graded NM-MT+ 8.5 by PSA. Hall of Famer, depicted in his debut-year gum card appearance. Among more than 5,500 copies recorded in PSA's census reporting, just thirty-seven examples have been placed at a higher, unqualified tier. Here's the condition-sensitive 1969 Topps rookie card of the always-confident, future "Mr. October," an athlete who would eventually amass 563 big league home runs. The offered example boasts uncommonly precise centering, as well as relative freedom from the issue's often-seen printer's imperfections. Near Mint to Mint-plus condition.
