Graded EX/NM 80 by SGC. Exceptionally attractive example of Sandy Koufax's rookie card. The 1955 Topps Koufax rookie (#123) is the second most valuable card in that year's set, surpassed only by Roberto Clemente's rookie card in the high-number series. Bright, crisp, and clean, with light wear on the corners, vibrant colors, and centering toward the right. Clean reverse. Sandy Koufax's rookie card will always be one of the most famous and popular cards of the 1950s, and the offered example is an outstanding example worthy of any high-grade complete set or rookie-card collection.  Reserve $300. Estimate $500/$1,000+.
