1958 Topps #47 Roger Maris Rookie Autographed PSA Authentic
BOY WONDER SIGNED ROOKIE!!!... A highly coveted Roger Maris Rookie from 1958 signed by the 22-year-old Indian. Though it would not be for another couple of years, Roger Maris' destiny would include becoming a back-to-back AL MVP and the rightful owner of the single season home run record, the latter of which he held until 2022, some 61 years later. Encased "Authentic" by PSA, this vibrant rookie card has Roger Maris penned across his uniform in black. Finding a Roger Maris scripted 1958 Topps #47 rookie card is no easy task, with PSA's prestigious "Pop" Chart listing only 50 autographed examples. Considering that this number represents a fractional 0.9% of the total 5,800 unsigned PSA encapsulated copies, this grand offering truly resides as one of Roger's most elusive cardboard mementos. No premier signed rookie card collection could ever be considered complete without a 1958 Topps Maris portraying his timeless signature, with this revered keepsake the perfect testament for Roger's iconic 1961 campaign that turned the baseball world upside down!
