A top-grade example from an expertly curated 1960 Topps set, now available individually in this auction. As with many of those listings, this PSA MINT 9 is among our hobby's highest known, making them key additions to any premiere collection. The #550 population report shows none higher!

Jim Landis starred in centerfield for the White Sox for almost a decade, so one wonders why Topps waited until the 7th series to put him on this card. His best work came in 1959 and 1961, but it took until 1962 for All-Star recognition, perhaps as make-up for those previous years. Many excellent outfielders of that era failed to break through All-Star lineups filled with competition like Mantle, Maris, Yaz, and other future Hall of Famers. We can fault the solid players for falling short of MVP level?
