Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Hall of Famer, in his Rookie Card appearance. Among nearly 8,600 copies recorded in PSA's census reporting, barely one-half of one percent have been placed at a higher, unqualified tier. Sandy Koufax is one of baseball's most intriguing and respected figures. His level of ability on the mound secured his permanent placement in Cooperstown, and his gentlemanly bearing earned a special place for him in fans' hearts. Koufax was the premier pitcher of his time, and all of his achievements were fulfilled in quiet dignity. Offered is the rookie card of this pitcher whose name became synonymous with excellence and domination, and who accomplished such great things at an early age. (Koufax retired in his prime and was enshrined at Cooperstown in 1972 – before he turned 40). This piece is an incredibly sharp and desirable memento of the then 20-year-old future phenomenon. The collectible will satisfy, even exhilarate, the most discriminating enthusiast. Snow-white borders, in ideal proportion, frame the item's flawless image. The card's sharp corners, phenomenal surface gloss and crisp back printing complete the item's status as a visual delight. Every serious baseball card collection should include a high-grade Koufax rookie, and this specimen is easily among the small elite of the industry's finest examples. Near Mint to Mint condition.
