This PSA MINT 9 ranks among its best-preserved 1960 Topps examples, a tribute to its collector’s discerning eye, and the population report shows none graded higher. Many top-tier singles from that heralded set are available in this auction and this clean, centered card exemplifies its end-to-end quality.

While Topps selected many of its team cards from seasons older than one might expect, this matches the official 1959 Milwaukee team pose and includes Hall of Famers Hank Aaron, Warren Spahn, Eddie Mathews, and Billy Herman (coach). The diminutive gentleman wearing a tuxedo at far left, Donald Davison, looms large in his impact on the sport, as he became a bridge between generations, first as batboy for the 1935 Boston Braves of Babe Ruth and then traveling secretary for these 1957 World Champions, led by Hank Aaron. Team cards offer this unique chance to show people who make the sport possible by their daily work.
