Though Roy Campanella's career came to an abrupt and tragic end after just 10 major-league seasons, he certainly made the most of his time on the field. A three-time National League MVP, "Campy" was a driving force in finally pushing his Brooklyn Dodgers past the New York Yankees and capturing a World Series championship in 1955. Hail the conquering hero on this 1956 Topps card, offering a full spectrum of deep, bold color, perfectly positioned and contained within a stark white border that has earned the accolades that accompany a grade of PSA 9 MINT. Each corner checks in at the MINT level while the reverse refuses to yield to the magnificence of the central image; a clean canvas with sharp red, green and black pigmentation. A spectacular card that has survived virtually untouched for 60 years. One of only 14 at the PSA 9 level with none graded higher.
