Pristine 1977 Topps card featuring rookie outfielders from four teams.  While the card features two exceptional ballplayers in Gene Richards (who batted .290 in an eight-year career) and Denny Walling (who posted a .271 lifetime average in an 18-year career), it is the presence of Andre Dawson, Expos outfielder and future Hall of Famer, that lends this card the bulk of its appeal.  Elected into the Hall in 2010, Dawson posted a lifetime average of .279 with 438 home runs, winning the NL Rookie of the Year in 1977, and the MVP ten years later.

The card is simply perfect, bright and clean without a sign of the print defects that plagued Topps issues of this era. Centering is spectacular, the card well worthy of its lofty grade.  One of the key cards of the issue, and one of the most important Hall of Fame rookie cards of its decade.
