1955 Topps #123 Sandy Koufax Rookie PSA 7 NM
SHARP KOUFAX ROOKIE!!! A stellar Koufax rookie, this PSA 7 NM 1955 Topps marvel portrays an abundance of its original attributes. Tantamount to its elite standing is Sandy Koufax's solidified place among baseball's greatest pitchers, with his peak performance residing at the summit of baseball's all-time hurlers. From 1962 to 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, a number of microscopic ERAs less than 2.00, and a southpaw record 382 strikeouts in a single season. Eye-catching aesthetics include bright hues, a radiant yellow background, respectable centering (somewhat favoring the left edge), and the lack of any obtrusive surface blemishes. While a few imperfect corners and a somewhat rough factory-issued left edge cut prevent a higher grade, the desirable near-mint assessment merits this Koufax memento a final resting place in any esteemed rookie card collection!
