JOE TORRE | 1964 TOPPS STAND-UP | PSA EX 5

PSA Graded Card - Certification #89419057 - Grade: EX 5

This is an iconic vintage baseball card from the 1964 Topps Stand-Up set featuring Joe Torre during his time with the Milwaukee Braves. The card displays a young Torre in a crouching catcher's pose with vivid team colors—yellow background with a green lower panel—and a cutout of Torre in his Braves uniform, designed to be punched out and stood up, as indicated by the perforated outline. The lower portion includes a bold yellow nameplate with 'JOE TORRE' in red, team name, and C-1B denoting catcher/first baseman. The card features Torre's facsimile signature printed in black script. There is no real autograph or serial number. The design is distinctive due to its large bright color fields, die-cut edges, and the unique stand-up intention that collectors often left intact. The card is slabbed and graded PSA 5 (Excellent), with visible corner wear, decent centering, and some light surface marks, typical for cards of this era. Stand-Up cards were a one-year-only release, making them historically significant and highly collectible. Unique to this series are the punch-out, stand-up design and the saturated use of color, setting it apart from other 1960s baseball issues.
