Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Hall of Famer, depicted in his debut-year gum card appearance. Among more than 6,000 copies recorded in PSA's census reporting, just forty examples have been placed at a higher, unqualified tier. The offered card is a radiantly colored, deservedly coveted memento of its superstar subject. Today's hobby remains grateful for the inclusion of Sandy Koufax in Topps' 1955 release, and his rookie card is a prized collectible from an era rich in baseball history. This exceptionally fresh, choice specimen will enhance virtually any collection. On its front, snow-white borders frame a beautifully printed image. Koufax' expressive portrait, his smaller, standing pose, and the bright red Dodgers' logo all beam with dazzling, blemish-free hues. The card's robust corners, phenomenal surface gloss and crisp back-printing complete the item's status as a visual delight. With its never-touched character and spectacular eye appeal, this is a thoroughly commendable Near Mint to Mint example of a cherished 1950s classic.
