Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Hall of Famer, in his prized Rookie Card appearance. Among nearly 4,500 copies recorded in PSA’s census reporting, just eighteen examples have attained a higher, unqualified tier. Always a favorite among hobby enthusiasts, the rookie card of "Mr. Cub" commemorates the beginning of a career that would yield 512 career home runs and back-to-back NL MVP Awards (1957-58). Banks' special place in baseball history is assured, and he is without question the most popular Chicago Cub in franchise history. This nicely centered example of his debut collectible reveals deep, rich color. A crisp image and a clean reverse complete this praiseworthy rookie card's presentation. Highly appealing Near Mint to Mint condition.
