Pete Rose was described as a "torrid minor league slugger" on the back of this card and unlike many others that the description fit, he did it in the major leagues too! 4,192 hits later he was the all time hit king and cards from early in his career became quite desireable. This gem is his 3rd year issue in blistering Mint condition and really in a condition better approximating Gem Mint than Nm/Mt. Perfectly centered with a photo that says "bang!" This is all here and will prove to be a superb card for any collection.
