One of only two GEM MINT PSA 10 graded Steve Garvey rookies from the daunting 1971 Topps issue. Long regarded as the bane of condition-conscious collecting, the black-bordered '71 Topps series can also prove to be majestic when blessed with every aesthetic element harmoniously aligned in perfection. The offered example's deep black borders heighten the colors of its central image with amazing overall effect. This all-original beauty is exactly what Topps design team must have imagined as the company developed the issue. It’s a simply sensational rookie rendering of the Dodger mainstay, in breathtaking Gem Mint condition.
