Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Hall of Famer, in a coveted "Rookie Card" appearance. Among nearly 3,600 copies recorded in PSA's census reporting, just thirty-four examples have been placed at a higher, unqualified tier. This is the much-admired, first gum card of Frank Robinson, the only player to win the MVP Award in each major league. His impressive lifetime total of 586 home runs and career .294 batting average only hint at his greatness as a complete player. The offered 1957 Topps card has four sharp corners as well as great color, gloss and focus. Its image quality, from an issue often noted for understated color, is bright and dramatic. A super example of this important card, in Near Mint to Mint condition.
