Graded MINT 9 by SGC. This is the ONLY example graded at this level by SGC with none graded higher! Ultra high-grade example of condition-sensitive card #1 Roger Maris from the popular 1962 Topps set. The card displays four pack-fresh corners, a crystal-clear image, and centering just a hint toward the bottom. 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. Reserve $2,000. Estimate (open).
