Another PSA MINT 9 single from a 1960 Topps set built by a discriminating expert collector, with many available in this auction. This #431 shows near-perfecting centering, bright borders, square corners, and nostalgic colors that reflect its growing, golden era of postwar baseball. The population report shows just one higher!

Franchises who moved during the postwar expansion era, such as these Giants, receive extra attention from contemporary locals and modern collectors during their initial years with new fanbases. Andre Rodgers added a personal angle by being MLB's first player from the Bahamas, becoming a favorite for many fans with similar roots. Andre himself become a more complete player throughout his career and covered four different positions for the Giants in 1960, something his future employers in Chicago and Pittsburgh no doubt valued.
