$80.00USD

PSA Graded Card - Certification #114845598 - Grade: EX 5

This is the 1962 Topps #218 Joe Torre baseball card, featuring Joe Torre in a catcher's pose wearing a Milwaukee Braves uniform. The card is distinguished by its classic woodgrain borders, which frame a full-color action photo of Torre at a ballpark. The card also features the 'Topps 1961 All-Star Rookie' trophy graphic prominently on the lower left, indicating Torre's selection as a rookie all-star in the previous season. The lower right includes his name (Joe Torre) and position (C for catcher) above the team designation ('MIL BRAVES'). The printing features the characteristic semi-gloss of 1960s Topps products with a matte finish, a simulated woodgrain background, and no advanced printing technology beyond standard 1960s offset printing. The photo showcases the classic baseball stadium background. Condition is listed as EX 5 (Excellent) by PSA, meaning some minor corner wear and slight surface or print imperfections. This card is highly collectible as Torre would go on to have a Hall of Fame playing and managing career. The woodgrain design and rookie trophy make it a visually distinctive and sought-after piece for 1960s collectors.
