1957 Topps #35 Frank Robinson Rookie PSA 8 NM-MT
ROBBY ROOKIE!!! One of the most revered post-WWII rookie cards is the 1957 Topps #35 inaugural card for the slugging Hall of Famer Frank Robinson, presented here in a sensational PSA 8 holder. Going into the 1957 season, Cincinnati Reds' star left fielder Frank Robinson had already electrified the baseball community via his rookie record of 38 round-trippers while batting .290 and posting an outstanding .936 OPS. These magnificent accomplishments easily earned Robby the 1956 Rookie of the Year Award, on his way to a spectacular 21-year career that included 586 round-trippers, 1,812 runs batted in, being the only player to win MVP Awards in both leagues (1961 with Cincinnati & 1966 with Baltimore), and an ultra-elusive 1966 Triple Crown season! Synonymous with his immortal stature is this pack-fresh rookie card proudly boasting clean surfaces, vibrant hues, pinpoint corners, and a resounding batting image of one of baseball's greatest all-time players!
