Graded 92 NM/MT+ 8.5 by SGC. Rookie Card, and a scarcer "High Number" entry. This is one of eighteen examples at its tier (with eleven specimens graded higher) among a total of 720 copies recorded in SGC's census reporting. Here is a gorgeous example of the tough-to-find and widely pursued 1963 Topps card that pictures baseball's all-time Hits King as the lower-left member of a rookie quartet.
The offered card occupies a truly elite tier, and it is distinguished by extraordinary brilliance in its manufacture and preservation. Wonderfully pronounced, bright gloss immediately captures the admirer's attention, which is subsequently held by impeccable focus, admirable print quality and marvelous color. The card's corners reveal no evidence of handling, and its pure white borders and title lettering complete the fabulous card's air of freshness. This is a Rose rookie card that boasts showpiece quality in every respect, and it stands as a scarce hobby treasure with vibrant and dazzling visual character. Near Mint to Mint-plus condition.
