Postwar Baseball - 1950s Cards

Graded NM-MT+ 8.5 by PSA. One of only three examples graded at this level with eight higher out of 2,004 cards evaluated by PSA to date. Spectacular ultra high-grade example of #302 Sandy Koufax from the popular 1957 Topps set. In addition to being one of Koufax's most popular early cards, this is the key card of the scarce 1957 Topps middle-number series (#265-352). Crisp and clean image with flawless registration, near-perfect centering, and four sharp corners. Almost entirely free of excess print, which is a common issue among cards found within the middle-number series. Clean reverse, centered slightly to the bottom. This is an extraordinary high-grade example that would be a tremendous addition to any 1957 Topps set, Hall of Famer, or Brooklyn Dodgers collection. SMR is $3,500. Reserve $1,000. Estimate $2,000/$3,000+. SOLD FOR $4,740
