(LOT 47)
1960 Topps #316 Willie McCovey Rookie PSA 9 MINT
MCCOVEY ROOKIE!!!... One of the most intimidating power hitters of his era, McCovey was called "the scariest hitter in baseball" by pitcher Bob Gibson, an assessment with which Reggie Jackson concurred. McCovey's powerful swing generated 521 home runs, 231 of which he hit in Candlestick Park, the most hit there by any player, and included a home run of Sept. 16, 1966 described as the longest ever hit in that stadium. Willie is in the Elite 500 Homerun club. This lot consists of a Willie McCovey 1960 Topps Rookie card in a strong PSA 9 MINT grade. One to watch as there hasn't been any card grading higher. STRETCH for this one!!!
