This Roger Maris Post single is well cut, with black border visible on each edge, and captures him having just passed one of baseball's best-known marks. His biography text, written just months after his 1961 season, frames an argument repeated many times in the era of longer seasons: can a record like Babe Ruth's 60 home runs be considered broken when achieved in more games?

The PSA EX 5 grade reflects one angled edge, better seen from the reverse, and its thin line of cereal box adhesive. Its population report shows appoximately 300 similar singles graded, with just a few dozen higher, so this will be challenging to improve on.
