1949 Bowman #84 Roy Campanella Rookie PSA 8 NM-MT
CAMPY ROOKIE!!! Presented here is a spectacular PSA 8 rookie card of the legendary Brooklyn Dodgers backstop Roy Campanella, with his classic portrait pose literally jumping off the card! The immortal Campanella will forever be considered one of baseball's greatest all-time backstops. The HOF catcher won three MVP awards in a brief but outstanding career. Due to his tragic car accident, leaving Campy paralyzed for life, there is an unquestionable sentiment and desirability for his cardboard jewels, with his 1949 Bowman rookie his most prized keepsake. The true rookie card of the iconic Campy, its portrait pose is set against a seemingly flawless orange-brown background, with the image modestly favoring the right edge. Pack-fresh surfaces and right-angled corners are additional superlatives supporting the revered PSA 8 assessment!
