1954 Topps #201 Al Kaline Rookie PSA 7.5 NM+
KALINE ROOKIE!!! Presented here is one of the hobby's most coveted 1950s rookie cards, a super eye pleasing PSA 7.5 NM+ 1954 Topps Al Kaline gem. Hall of Famer Al Kaline is one of the most underrated players in baseball history. In only his second full MLB season, Kaline became baseball's youngest batting champion ever with his stellar .340 average, besting Ty Cobb by a single day. A superb defensive outfielder with a powerful throwing arm, Kaline is a distinguished member of the 3,000-hit club, and is enshrined in Cooperstown forever. The sparkling Kaline poses have retained their original luster, with both images set against an imposing red-orange background. Pack-fresh surfaces, somewhat right-angled corners, and snow white borders complete this 69-year-old heirloom that merits serious consideration for any world-class rookie-card compilation!
