Exceptional high-grade rookie card of Mike Schmidt (as well as star Dodgers third baseman Ron Cey) from the 1973 O-Pee-Chee (Canadian Topps) issue. Graded MINT 9 by PSA the card is virtually perfect well-centered with razor-sharp corners the rough cut edges typical of the O-Pee-Chee issue visible here. The Schmidt rookie is the unquestionable key of both the 1973 Topps and O-Pee-Chee sets and while the Topps card sells for a greater price the O-Pee-Chee issue is considered more difficult to find. Indeed PSA has graded more than 8 000 examples of the Topps issue with 250 attaining a grade of MINT 9 (and six higher). Conversely PSA has graded just 376 examples of the O-Pee-Chee Schmidt with just 46 at the MINT 9 level (and also six higher). A tougher card a tremendous value the rookie card of the player that is likely the greatest third baseman of all-time.
