A standout PSA MINT 9 from a top quality 1960 Topps set, now available as singles in this auction. With only two higher, this is one of the premier examples known to collectors, with image quality, centering, and edges all fresh to the eye and justifying such a high grade.

1960 marks the beginning of a Yankee journey for Roger Maris, who hit a stupendous 100 homers across two seasons, won back-to-back AL MVP awards, and broke marks set by Babe Ruth, something that puts anyone in elite company in baseball history and its record books. The artist for this Topps card painted a delicate NY over the cap's original Kansas City logo, encouraging collectors to think about his future with the Bronx Bombers. Few cards symbolize the new era for a player like this does for Maris and Yankee collectors.
