1955 Topps #123 Sandy Koufax Rookie PSA 7 NM
KOUFAX ROOKIE!!! This Sandy Koufax PSA 7 NM 1955 Topps rookie card exhibits an array of its original factory-issued qualities. Equal to its elite standing is Sandy Koufax's place among baseball's greatest pitchers, for you will not get many arguments that his peak performance resides at the summit of baseball's all-time hurlers. From 1962 through 1966, he dominated MLB hitters to the tune of three Cy Young awards, four no-hitters (including one perfect game!), three seasons with 25 or more wins, microscopic ERAs less than 2.00, and a southpaw record 382 strikeouts in a single season. Breathtaking aesthetics include dazzling hues, a radiant yellow background, respectable centering (somewhat favoring the lower right edges), and the lack of any glaring surface flaws. While some modest touching to several corners prevents a higher grade, the coveted near-mint assessment places this timeless Koufax keepsake as a bona fide keeper in any distinguished rookie card gathering!
