The 1965 Topps #477 Steve Carlton rookie card is a prized possession among baseball card collectors, particularly in high grades. Featuring the young pitcher during his early years with the St. Louis Cardinals, this card has been graded by PSA as being in mint condition, with sharp corners, great centering, and clear, vibrant colors. High-grade examples like a PSA 9 are scarce because of the card's age and its propensity for wear and tear. As Steve Carlton went on to become one of the greatest pitchers in Major League Baseball history, with 329 wins and four Cy Young Awards, his rookie card has only grown in significance. Owning a PSA 9 version of this card represents both a remarkable investment and a piece of baseball history.
