Period-Signed 1952 Topps Eddie Mathews Rookie #407 PSA Good 2, PSA/DNA Auto 8 - From The Golden Age Collection. Hall of Fame slugger Eddie Mathews became the seventh member of Major League Baseball's elite 500 Home Run Club when he launched his ground-breaking round-tripper on July 14, 1967. The monumental blast came off fellow HOFer Juan Marichal, a hard-throwing righthander with the San Francisco Giants. Mathews went on to hit a total of 512 homers and finished his career a year later with a lifetime batting average of .271. A two-time World Series winner (1957 and '68), his induction into the hallowed halls of Cooperstown took place in 1978.

Offered is Eddie's prized 1952 Topps rookie card that features a handsome headshot of the third sacker. This Good example of his RC (#407) from the historic '52 Topps set is further enhanced by his cherished signature across the front. He signed the lefthand side of the card in blue ink. Graded PSA Good 2 with a certified PSA/DNA Auto 8.
