Description
1957 Topps Brooks Robinson Rookie #328 PSA Mint 9 - Only One Higher! The 1957 Topps Brooks Robinson Rookie #328 is one of the defining rookie cards of the post-war era, capturing the debut cardboard appearance of the legendary Baltimore Orioles third baseman. The 1957 Topps set itself is highly significant in hobby history, as it was the company's first release to feature the now-standard "modern" card dimensions of 2 ½" by 3 ½." With 407 cards in the checklist, the set is filled with Hall of Fame talent, including other key rookies such as Frank Robinson and Jim Bunning. Its clean design, crisp photography, and straightforward layout helped set the template for decades of Topps issues to follow.Brooks Robinson's rookie card features a simple yet classic design, with his name and team at the bottom with a full-color close-up photograph of the young infielder. The image shows Robinson in his Orioles cap with a relaxed, smiling expression, a fitting preview of the grit and steadiness that would define his career. While centering and print quality are frequent issues with the 1957 set, well-preserved examples of this card remain highly coveted due to both its historical place and Robinson's enduring legacy.
Known as "The Human Vacuum Cleaner," Brooks Robinson became the standard-bearer for defensive excellence at third base, winning 16 Gold Glove Awards and earning 18 All-Star selections. He was instrumental in leading the Orioles to two World Series championships and claimed both an MVP award and a World Series MVP along the way. His rookie card, anchored in the landmark 1957 Topps issue, represents not only the beginning of an illustrious Hall of Fame career but also a key milestone in baseball card history. Graded PSA Mint 9. One of thirty-seven graded Mint with one higher.
