Graded MINT+ 9.5 by SGC. This is the ONLY example at this impressive level ever graded by SGC out of 706 cards evaluated to date. Stunning ultra high-grade rookie card of Hall of Famer Bob Gibson from the classic 1959 Topps set. This card is a gem! Brilliant colors, four razor-sharp corners, flawless surface, and near-perfect centering. Outstanding crisp image with ideal gloss and perfect registration (which can sometimes be a problem with Gibson's 1959 Topps card). This card, as one might expect, has outstanding visual appeal. Perfectly clean reverse. This is a tremendous card of the key rookie from this popular 1950s Topps set, which would make an outstanding addition to any complete set, Hall of Fame rookie card, or Bob Gibson collection. Opening Bid $5,000. Estimate $20,000+.
