One of the best PSA MINT 9 examples available, offered from a 1960 Topps set assembled with an eye for the finest condition. Considering the popularity of Hall of Fame players like Don Drysdale, it speaks to the challenge of finding his cards in top-tier condition that there are just three higher on the population report. Its strong, image, borders complement the handsome portrait and no doubt contemporary collectors thrilled to see a star like this in their bubblegum pack.

Topps presented many of these "Boys of Summer" Dodgers on bright, sunny afternoons, well-suited to the image and success of stars like Drysdale. He looks fresh off the 1959 World Series win over Chicago, where he delivered a seven-inning, one-run victory to help L.A. win his first of three career championships. His 29 career homers included a blast that year off Robin Roberts, one of two Don hit off the future Hall of Famer. He added a pair off Warren Spahn in 1965, connecting once when Warren was a Met and then later in the season as a Giant.
