Description

1973 Topps Mike Schmidt - Rookie 3rd Baseman #615 PSA Mint 9 - Five Higher! Mike Schmidt, one of the greatest third basemen in baseball history, began his Hall of Fame career with raw power and elite defensive skills that would define the Phillies' success for nearly two decades. The 1973 Topps #615 card is his rookie, shared with Ron Cey and John Hilton, and marks the first appearance of a player who would go on to win three MVP awards and hit 548 home runs. As part of a high-number series, the card is more difficult to find in pristine condition, and its significance makes it one of the most important rookie issues of the 1970s.

This card is featured in the 1973 Topps set, known for its minimalist layout and action photography that signaled a modern shift in card design. Schmidt's inclusion alongside other notable prospects adds depth to the card's appeal, especially given his long-lasting legacy and impact on the game. In PSA Mint 9 condition, it stands as a high-grade example of a foundational piece in any post-war baseball card collection. One of two hundred fifty-two graded Mint with five higher.
