Another PSA MINT 9 from an expert-built 1960 Topps set, one of the best ever assembled in our hobby. Few Topps team cards survived their contemporary handling by young collectors and pencil check marks, so finding each clean, high-grade example becomes a treasure hunt. The #484 population report shows none higher!
This jewel of a team card captures the 1960 World Series winners at their assembled best, with four team staffers joining the future champs. Legend Roberto Clemente sits up front next to batboy Bobby Recker, with fellow Hall of Famer Bill Mazeroski near the center. Almost every Topps team photo of this era includes a surprise or two, and that's prewar legend George Sisler in the brown suit at right, a unique cameo that reflected his role as special assistant to the manager.
