The 1960 Topps Carl Yastrzemski rookie card is a rare find above the NM/MT level with the large majority of specimens experiencing either woefully askew centering or heavy stray print, either of which is a disqualifying offense. To find a suitably clean, well-centered example that also possesses corners and edges that uphold the stringent standards of a PSA 9 MINT grade is a cause for celebration, and here we are. With just one PSA 10 GEM MINT example on record out of over 11,000 PSA submissions, this impressive piece is bound to make waves on the PSA Set Registry. This card is very well framed, within a degree or two of perfection, with minimal stray print on the surface that goes largely unnoticed if you're not examining it with a high-powered loupe. The corners make a convincing case for GEM MINT status while the reverse offers an immaculate canvas with bold pigmentation. The portrait of "Yaz", the 1967 Americal League Triple Crown and MVP winner, shows exceptional color and registration. A remarkable card to pace your world-ranked assemblage.
