Graded MINT 9 by PSA (submitted by REA). Only five examples grade higher out of 7,331 cards evaluated by PSA to date. This is a superb ultra-high-grade rookie card of Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith. The 1979 Topps set is prone to many different problems, including centering issues and print quality. This card is outstanding in all respects. The centering is virtually perfect. All four corners are razor-sharp. The gloss is perfect and print quality is excellent. The reverse is perfectly clean and well centered. This is a spectacular ultra-high-grade example of the rookie card of one of the greatest fielders of his era. Reserve $300. Estimate $500+.
