Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Hall of Famer, depicted in his debut-year gum card appearance. Among more than 3,500 copies recorded in PSA's census reporting, only thirty-nine examples have been placed at a higher tier. Presented is the rookie card of the famed and beloved outfielder who spent 22 years demonstrating greatness for loyal Tiger fans. This beautiful, red-background piece has always, and rightfully, been considered one of the star's most attractive cards. On this splendid 1954 Topps Al Kaline card, the quality of the item's colors, and its print resolution, are truly exceptional from both front and back perspectives. All four corners are strongly shaped, and each one is sharply defined at its tip. Here, for many collectors, is one of the most desirable first-year cards imaginable. Near Mint to Mint condition.
