This PSA MINT 9 ranks among the best graded singles from 1960 Topps, a tribute to the collector who built a set of such quality. Its centering, color, edges, and corners all justify this high grade. The population report shows just one higher.

Hoyt Wilhelm excelled for many teams and in many roles, building his Hall of Fame career on a baffling knuckler and almost unparalleled durability. His 1960 card photo seems to have baffled the photographer as well, hinting that Topps moved quickly through the Baltimore lineup that day. Keep your own eyes peeled for a more conventional look at Wilhelm on the #115 "Fork and Knuckler" multiplayer card with Roy Face, also available in this auction.
