A high-end PSA NM-MT 8 example from a discriminating 1960 Topps set, known for its premiere condition and consistency. This card, like other singles offered in this auction, exhibits the strong colors, perfect edges, and centering demanded by such a grade. #485 cards prove a challenge at high scores and the population report shows just nine higher.
Already sought out by St. Louis Cardinals collectors as a fan favorite, 11-time All-Star and 1964 NL MVP Ken Boyer continues to receive broad support as a Hall of Fame candidate, making this an unusual vintage card that could change tiers of desirability from high to highest, should he receive induction alongside excellent third basemen of that era like Eddie Mathews, Ron Santo, and Dick Allen. Its appeal as card alone is undeniable and shows Ken ready to take the spring training field, with an entire season of excellent hitting and sharp glovework laid out out ahead of him.
