Excellent PSA NM-MT 8 example from one of the best-curated 1960 Topps sets in the hobby, now available as singles for this auction. Cards at this level exhibit the clear photos and excellent presentation required of this grade, with only subtle condition factors distinguishing them. Centering a touch northwest and a barely seen bump in yellow ink registration seems all that holds this back from even higher scores.

Al Kaline spent his 22-year career entirely with Detroit and had already beaten Ty Cobb's record as youngest player to win a batting title, with a personal reputation leaps and bounds beyond players of almost any era. He continued serving the Tigers as its longtime broadcaster, cementing personal memories with a new generation of those fans. His 1960 All-Star season sat at the midpoint of an amazing 13 straight selections, which might merit Cooperstown induction on that strength alone!
