1963 ROOKIE STARS | 1963 TOPPS 553 | PSA EX-MT 6

PSA Graded Card - Certification #92895829 - Grade: EX-MT 6

This is a 1963 Topps 'Rookie Stars' card, number 553, featuring four rookie outfielders: Brock Davis (Houston Colt .45s), Jim Gosger (Boston Red Sox), John Herrnstein (Philadelphia Phillies), and the Hall of Famer Willie Stargell (Pittsburgh Pirates). The card design is iconic of the era, with headshots of each player in colored circles (red) on a bright yellow background. The top features a bold sky-blue bar reading '1963 Rookie Stars' in white lettering. The card is slabbed and graded by PSA as EX-MT 6, indicating excellent to mint condition with light corner and edge wear but clean presentation. The printing uses standard offset lithography from the '60s. This card is notable not only for being a multi-player rookie card but especially for marking the rookie appearance of Willie Stargell, an important player in baseball history. No autographs, serial numbering, or refractor or special parallels are present. The visual style is clean and very mid-century, making it instantly recognizable to vintage collectors.
