1955 Topps # 123 Sandy Koufax
PSA 6 EX-MT
Sandy Koufax was elected into the Hall in 1972 by the BaseBall Writer's Assoc. of America, 1st ballot, (86.87%) as a Los Angeles Dodger. Sandy's playing career was from 1955 to 1966, all with the Dodgers. He was a 7 time All Star, 4 time WS Champion, 3 time Cy Young award winner, pitched 4 no-hitters (1 perfect game) & finished his career with a 2.76 ERA. From 1961 to his final season in 1966, many have argued he put together the greatest run in pitching history. I was 8 yrs. old in 1961 growing up in the Los Angeles area, and he was everything to us kids. We were definitely spoiled with the 4 WS championships in a 7 year span. It was both very unfortunate & shocking when we heard he was forced to retire because of an arthritic elbow after the 1966 season. Above is his 1955 Topps rookie card PSA graded 6 EX-MT. Near perfect centering & small amount of the usual print defects makes this a very nice 6, a population of 1,373 with 1,267 graded higher. MM-04/21/2020
