Two key lower population cards from the harder-to-find seventh series of 1960 Topps, each with the bold color, strong edges, and corners expected of cards at this grade. This pair comes from a top-tier 1960 graded set, one of the best known in our hobby, offered as singles and small lots in this auction.
#530 Mike McCormick - PSA NM-MT 8 (15 higher) took a significant step forward in 1960, notching his first All-Star season and taking home the NL ERA crown. Some print fisheyes on the blue nameplate and centering a touch southward could be what hold this back from higher scores.
#535 Whitey Lockman - PSA NM-MT 8 (12 higher) stood on the cusp of transitioning from versatile fielder to respected coach and manager. Note some horizontal marks appear on the graded slab itself that do not reflect the card within.
