1957 was Ernie Banks' fifth year in the white Major Leagues, but he was still only 26 years old. The following year would be the first of his back-to-back MVP Awards. Here, the young shortstop stands at the plate in his crisp zipper-down Cubs uniform. Sharp edges and corners give 1957 Topps card #55 a crisp frame, despite centering being slightly north and west on the canvas. Some light snow keep this example from grading even higher than it already has, but still plenty of eye appeal with this offering.
