1962 Topps Roger Maris card #1, signed by Maris in blue Sharpie on the front. Beckett has encapsulated the card and graded the signature GEM MINT 10. Issued in the year following the historic 1961 season (and of course listing "61" in the home-run column of the previous year's statistics), the 1962 Topps is naturally one of Roger Maris' most popular cards. It is also one of the great classics of all early 1960s bubble-gum cards. Vg, with typical border and corner wear. Reserve $200. Estimate (open).
