A top-tier PSA MINT 9 single that comes from a 1960 Topps set assembled with an eye for the finest condition. See similar listings in this auction for many hard-to-improve examples of one of the standout sets in hobby history! The #518 population report shows just one higher.

Rookie outfielder Tony Gonzalez appears in this final 1960 series on the strength of his first two months with Cincy. He would make a much bigger impression in Philly, who traded for Tony in mid-June. Gonzalez went on to average nearly .300 over a decade excelling wherever they played him, held back from true superstar status by recurring health issues. He belongs in any conversation of "best players to never make an All-Star Game," given the stiff competition outfielders faced in that era to break through positions dominated by legendary opposition.
