1952 Topps #372 Gil McDougald Rookie Card PSA 9 MINT - Highest Graded PSA Example!
HIGHEST GRADED!!! One of the finest and most versatile infielders in baseball from 1951 through 1960, Gil McDougald stole a bit of Mickey Mantle's thunder when the two rookies broke into the majors in 1951. While Mantle was billed to be the next legendary Yankee, it was McDougald who walked away with Rookie of the Year honors by compiling a stellar .306 batting average, .396 on-base percentage, and .488 slugging percentage. He ably assisted the Yankees in winning eight pennants and five World Series Championships, justifying why his 1952 Topps #373 High-Number Series rookie card stands as McDougald's most sought-after cardboard issue.

Presented here is one of his premier 1952 Topps examples, a breathtaking PSA 9 MINT rookie card marvel that along with seven other specimens stands as the finest of its kind! A sparkling lithographic portrait image of the budding Yankee star steals the show, with the well-centered illustration only slightly favoring the upper left edges between four dazzling white borders. Pack-fresh surfaces, pinpoint corners and a brilliant array of hues complete this timeless masterpiece that merits a final resting place in any esteemed rookie card or '52 Topps collection!
