This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/2/2016
Graded MINT 9 by PSA. Hall of Famer, in his debut-year gum card appearance. Among more than 3,500 examples recorded in PSA's census reporting, not a single copy has been graded higher. This is the much-admired rookie card of Frank Robinson, the only player to win the MVP Award in each 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 perfectly 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 Mint condition.
