Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Rookie Card. Among nearly 700 copies recorded in PSA’s census reporting, just fourteen examples have been placed at a higher tier. The likeness of the Dodgers' big first baseman shines forth brilliantly against a deep red background on the face of this classic, debut-year collectible. The piece boasts a "brand-new" appearance, and stands as a magnificent keepsake of a man who, more than three decades after his passing, continues to enjoy strong support for Hall of Fame enshrinement. An exceptionally strong, tinted image with perfect registration highlights the card's appearance. Hodges' portrayal is framed by white borders that culminate in sharp corners. The reverse is the perfect complement to the front, with admirably bold printing. Near Mint to Mint condition.
