The key to the 1963 Topps set forty years ago and the key now, the Pete Rose rookie card is a perennial "best seller" in the hobby. Interest remains high, no doubt helped by the fateful combination of Rose's talent, his successful pursuit of Ty Cobb's all-time hit record and the later infamy from the gambling probe and lifetime suspension. This is a PSA 6 EX-MT example, with very tight corners, with just the slightest tipping seen on a couple. Some light foxing is present and the centering is left and a little down. Color and registration are superb, there's no doubt about it.
