Venerable Yankees backstop/left fielder Elston Howard was the first Black ballplayer to wear the Yankee pinstripes, as well as the first Black player to win the AL MVP award. He is featured here on this pristine 1956 Topps card, recently graded MINT 9 by PSA. That qualifies this one as being in the top 3% of all graded ’56 Howard submissions with just a single example graded higher. Pack-fresh in every aspect, this delightful specimen is guaranteed to please any card-collecting enthusiast.
