Graded GEM MT 10 by PSA. Hall of Famer. Among nearly 15,750 examples of this avidly pursued rookie subject - and the key subject to the 1980 Topps baseball series - have been holdered by PSA; this is one of only 17 specimens (roughly one PSA GEM MT 10 for every 925 cards submitted) placed at the coveted GEM MT 10 tier. The greatest lead-off hitter of all-time, Rickey Henderson holds records for most career stolen bases, runs and leadoff home runs. He is the only American League player to steal 100 bases in a season (he did it three times) and holds the Major League record with 130 swipes in 1982. This exceptionally fresh, choice specimen will enhance virtually any collection. On its front, snow-white borders frame a beautifully printed image. The card's razor-sharp 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 example of one of the hobby's most important 1980s rookie cards, in unimprovable Gem Mint condition.
