1956 Topps #79 Sandy Koufax White Back PSA 8 NM-MT
2ND-YEAR SANDY!!! Synonymous with Koufax's arguable stature as our National Pastime's greatest peak-value twirler who ever toed a pitching rubber, comes this outstanding PSA 8 NM-MT 1956 Topps White Back offering that has retained a majority of its original factory-issued attributes. It was Sandy Koufax's blazing fastball and nose-to-toes curveball that turned bats into sawdust. From 1962 through 1966, he dominated opposing hitters better than any hurler ever, winning three Cy Young awards, tossing four no-hitters (including one perfect game!), compiling three seasons with 25 or more wins, posting microscopic ERAs less than 2.00, and achieving a southpaw record of 382 strikeouts in a single season! This offering's breathtaking colors, crystal-clear Koufax images, square corners and pack-fresh surfaces all combine to justify the lofty assessment!
