Graded PSA 9 MINT. Up for grabs is a perfectly registered example of Pete Rose's popular 1967 Topps issue that shows the young star and eventual MLB hits leader in his vintage Cincinnati vest and pinstripes. Near perfectly centered with a rough-cut but MINT perimeter around a glossy MINT obverse and immaculate GEM MINT green-printed stat back, which displays virtually no traces of the advanced chipping so common to the issue whatsoever. Pete's 205 hits in 1966 would be the second of ten times he'd tab 200 or more hits in a season, which remains an MLB record. Next in line? Ty Cobb and Ichiro Suzuki with 9, Lou Gehrig and Paul Waner with 8, and Rogers Hornsby, Charlie Gehrigner, Wade Boggs, and Derek Jeter with 7.
