Up for grabs is a borderline GEM MINT specimen of Dusty Baker and Don Baylor's notoriously challenging 1971 Topps short-printed, high-number rookie issue. To date, the presented exampled is 1 of just 5 copies on record in the MINT 9 category at PSA with 0 higher from 620 submissions, and I'd bet Ben's bonus that it's probably the nicest of those 5 pop report leaders, as it features an uncharacteristically chip-free MINT+ perimeter for the issue. A legendary card of near mythical status in high-grade for collectors of the ever difficult 1971 Topps issue, don't expect to encounter a comparable example any time soon, if ever at all!
