Graded NM 84 by SGC. Extremely high grade example of 1963 Topps Pete Rose rookie card, one of baseball-card collecting's modern classics. This is a gorgeous example of this iconic card! This card is particularly difficult to find in high grade due to the flush-to-the-border design, which makes the top edges and corners so susceptible to wear. The card displays flawless bright colors, four sharp corners, and centered slightly to the left. The reverse has boldly printed text and there is a single black print mark (mentioned for accuracy). A very attractive high-grade example of the key card to the 1963 Topps set. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000++.
