1955 Topps #123 Sandy Koufax Rookie PSA 4 VG-EX, Auto 10 GEM MINT
SIGNED KOUFAX ROOKIE!!!... Presented here is an autographed Sandy Koufax PSA 4 rookie card boasting a perfect PSA GEM MINT 10 signature! Synonymous with this offering's hallowed stature is the immortal Sandy Koufax's place among baseball's greatest pitchers, for you will not get many arguments that Koufax stands as our National Pastime's premier peak value pitcher. From 1962 through 1966, he dominated MLB hitters as no other pitcher ever has, to the tune of three Cy Young awards, four no-hitters (including one perfect game), three seasons with 25 or more wins and microscopic ERAs less than 2.00, and a southpaw record of 382 strikeouts in a single season.
The card's aesthetics are splendid, spearheaded by the PSA 10 bold blue Sharpie script, as well as the sparkling hues and lack of any blatant surface flaws. Preventing a higher assessment is modest corner wear, the illustration favoring the lower left borders, and general surface wear not compromising the critical Koufax images. It's no secret that signed rookie cards of our National Pastime's greatest players are achieving stratospheric pricing points, with this mid-grade 69-year-old Koufax heirloom worthy of any esteemed autograph compilation!
