As one of the most electrifying hurlers in baseball history, just about every regional issue wanted to get Sandy Koufax into their lineup. Presented is a MINT example of Sandy Koufax's borderless 1960 Morrell Meats card, one of only 7 to earn a PSA 9 grade with none graded higher. The fact that Koufax is even in the set speaks volumes about the high hopes the Dodgers still had for their lefty "bonus baby" who, after five seasons, still hadn't lived up to expectations. But Koufax went on a dominant six-year run from 1961-1966 that few in major league history can match, halted abruptly by an arthritic elbow that forced his retirement. The card is virtually perfect, with no traces of chipping along the edges and even at the extreme tips, while the image of Koufax is one of the most powerful ever presented on a trading card. If you're an advanced Koufax collector or have an appreciation for something that is even tougher than his coveted 1955 Topps rookie card, you should make a strong effort to add this one to your collection.
