The 1967 Topps Baseball #581 card, featuring Mets rookie Tom Seaver, is a significant collectible in the sports card hobby, especially in high grades. This card is highly sought after due to the extreme popularity of this Mets great. Seaver, also known as "Tom Terrific," went on to become one of the greatest pitchers in Major League Baseball history, earning 311 career wins, three Cy Young Awards, and a Hall of Fame induction in 1992. His presence on this rookie card elevates its value and desirability among collectors. Graded as PSA NM/MT+ 8.5, this card is in near-mint to mint-plus condition and is so close to being a mint card! It possesses sharp corners, clean edges, and excellent centering, which are crucial attributes for collectors seeking high-grade examples. Due to the age of the card and its fragile cardboard stock, finding a 1967 Topps #581 in such pristine condition is rare. It is highly comparable to the Carew rookie in the lot before this and even possesses better centering. The combination of Seaver's legendary career and the card's scarcity in high grades makes this item a prized possession. Owning a PSA NM/MT+ 8.5 example of this card not only signifies a collector's dedication to preserving baseball history but also represents a solid investment in one of the sport's most iconic figures.
