Outstanding example of the future Dodgers star from a seldom-seen Caribbean tobacco set, which precedes his first Topps card by multiple years. Don Newcombe would go on to win Rookie of the Year, Cy Young, and MVP awards for Brooklyn, an almost untouchable peak of competitive performance for any pitcher. This paper-thin card, closer in spirit to a collectible stamp, rates as the best-known in our hobby. The majority of Caramelo singles show rips or back residue from album mounts, so even if PSA were to grade another example, it is unlikely to match this level of visual appeal.
