1967 Topps #581 Mets Rookies B. Denehy/T. Seaver PSA 7 NM
TOM TERRIFIC ROOKIE!!!... One of baseball's top ten all-time pitchers, George Thomas Seaver pitched 20 seasons, posting a sensational 2.86 lifetime ERA, 3,630 strikeouts, and 311 lifetime victories. Owner of three Cy Young Awards ('69, '73 & '75), "Tom Terrific" made his MLB debut in 1967 with the NY Mets and quickly imposed his willingness to win on this previously losing organization, winning 16 games and capturing the revered Rookie of the Year Award. His 1967 Topps #581 "high number" rookie card would be issued that same season, with its legendary stature placing it as one of the most significant post-WWII rookie cards extant. This PSA 7 NM example offers vibrant hues, snow-white borders and relatively square corners, standing tall as a bona fide exclamation point for Tom Seaver's storied career!
