(LOT 373)
1959 Topps #514 Bob Gibson Rookie BVG 9 MINT

HOOT MINT ROOKIE!!! The pinnacle of Gibson's career was 1968, when he set a modern baseball record by posting a 1.12 ERA for the season, then followed that by recording 17 strikeouts during Game 1 of the 1968 World Series. Over the course of his career, Gibson became known for his fierce competitive nature and the intimidation factor he used against opposing batters. Gibson threw a no-hitter during the 1971 season. The most popular card in the 1959 set, this Bob Gibson Rookie card easily made it into a MINT 9 holder. This one was hand-picked by our consignor. Bordering perfection, this one's a keeper.

MIN BID $2,500
