1952 Topps #379 Joe Rossi PSA 9 MINT
The Topps Chewing Gum Company somehow included Cincinnati Reds rookie catcher Joe Rossi as checklist #379 in their 1952 "high number" series. Rossi played in his first MLB game on April 20, 1952 and his last on September 12th, later that season. Rossi played minor league baseball for 14 seasons, but would never play in the Majors after his brief stint with the Reds in 1952. However, this miraculous PSA 9 Mint 1952 Topps #379 offering will forever stand as a testament to his big-league presence. One of only seven examples graded 9 MINT by PSA, its breathtaking attributes include a compelling Rossi landscape portrait image with robust hues, fine centering, pinpoint corners and immaculate surfaces. A cardboard masterpiece to say the least!
