1970 Topps #250 Willie McCovey PSA 10 GEM MINT
WILLIE MAC 10!!!... One of the most underrated power hitters in MLB history is HOF first sacker Willie McCovey, who terrorized pitchers with his colossal 6'4" size and mammoth homers. Indeed, Mac could wallop a baseball as hard and far as any hitter who ever played the game, and at the time of his 1980 retirement, his 521 lifetime homers (along with Ted Williams) were the most by any left-handed hitter with the exception of Babe Ruth. He won the Rookie of the Year Award in 1959, with his finest season realized a decade later when he claimed the NL's MVP Award in 1969, pacing the league in seven different categories including 45 homers, 126 runs batted in and a sensational 1.108 OPS. A candid Willie Mac image reveals crystal-clear clarity, atypical near-perfect centering, and sparkling hues. The final highlights justifying the 10 assessment are sharp corners and pristine surfaces.
