Graded MINT 9 by PSA. Hall of Famer, in his Rookie Card appearance. Among more than 1,150 copies recorded in PSA’s census reporting, just two examples have been placed at a higher tier.

Prized on the basis of its scarcity, and adored for its subject, the piece is one of its generation's undisputed "key" items. The card enjoys well-recognized primacy in collectors' minds as an item to be treasured in high grade. A truly splendid incarnation of a treasured collectible, in Mint condition.
