Another PSA MINT 9 single from a collector-built 1960 Topps set, widely regarded as one of the best assembled. Seventh series All-Star cards receive even more collector attention than most, thanks to their standout composition. Few cards reach this level on the 1960 population report, making its listings in this auction one of the few opportunities to improve another set of similar quality. The #560 population report shows none higher!

Ernie Banks won back-to-back NL MVP awards during an era of stiff competition from sluggers at more glamorous positions, demonstrating just how well he stood out from the typical 1950s shortstop. He would finish in top-10 MVP voting three other times, hit over 500 homers, and define what it meant to be a Cubs fan for decades to follow. It is hard to imagine a more popular player at a higher point in his career than Banks on any card of this era!
