An outstanding PSA NM-MT 8 from one of the hobby's top-tier 1960 Topps sets, now offered as singles in this auction. Cards at this level maintain sharp registration and strong print quality, with only minor elements preventing them from higher scores. Finding clean, centered #488 examples proves a real challenge, as the population report shows just five higher.

Young Norm Cash stood ready to hold down first base in Cleveland, as shown on his card portrait cap, until an April 1960 deal swapped him to Detroit, where Norm went on to spend the remainder of a decorated career. I hope young Tigers fans were amused by this incongruous combination of their retouched cap logo perched above Cleveland's intended #17, a uniform he never wore for MLB play.
