The one and only 1964 Topps Neikro rookie graded a perfect GEM MINT 10 by PSA. This classic rookie card from the era captures the great knuckle baller in a smiling portrait adjacent to that of fellow Braves prospect Phil Roof. The offered card presents remarkable intensity of color complimented by unblemished gloss contributing to a strikingly crisp, overall pack-fresh appearance. This world-class Gem is a fitting homage to Neikro’s long 24-year Hall of Fame career, spent mainly with the Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves. Niekro racked up 318 wins, good for 16th all time, using mostly his baffling knuckler. He was elected into the Baseball hall of Fame in 1997.
