Graded NM/MT 8 by PSA. Regardless of whether Pete Rose will ever see his ban from baseball overturned allowing for his enshrinement in Cooperstown, there can be little doubt that he was one of the fiercest competitors and greatest players the game has ever known. His 4,256 lifetime hits remains at the top of the list, with little, if any, chance of that number ever being surpassed. His rookie appearance in the world of cardboard collectibles reflects that greatness, with high-grade examples never ceasing to be popular amongst enthusiasts. The offered example bears the grade of NM/MT 8 as assigned by PSA, exhibiting bright, vivid colors, excellent centering, and a strong layer of shimmering gloss. The upper left corner, susceptible to wear due to the full-bleed colored border, shows a light touch, preventing this one from an even loftier assessment.
