(LOT 603)
1960 Topps #148 Carl Yastrzemski Rookie PSA 9 MINT

YAZ ROOKIE!!!... Yastrzemski played his entire 23-year baseball career with the Boston Red Sox (1961-1983). He was primarily a left fielder, with part of his later career played at first base and as a designated hitter. Yastrzemski is an 18-time All-Star, the possessor of seven Gold Gloves, a member of the 3000 hit club, and the first American League player in that club to also accumulate over 400 home runs. He is second on the all-time list for games played, and third for total at-bats.

He is the Red Sox' all-time leader in career RBIs, runs, hits, singles, doubles, total bases, and games played, and is second on the team's list for home runs behind another Red Sox great, Ted Williams, his predecessor in left field. In 1967, Yastrzemski achieved a peak in his career, leading the Red Sox to the American League pennant for the first time in over two decades, in that season being voted the American League MVP, and was the last winner of the Triple Crown for batters in the Major Leagues until Miguel Cabrera achieved the feat in 2012.

Offered here is a MINT example of this tough 1960 Rookie card of YAZ issued by Topps. Nicely centered all the way around with a pack fresh quality. Consider only 1 card has received the PSA 10 grade. Watch this one GRAB IT!!!
