1975 Topps Pete Rose #320 PSA 10 GEM MINT

The 1975 Topps baseball set is one of the most treasured of the era, with its colorful, thick-bordered design combining with some of the decade’s most coveted rookies for an all-time fan favorite. But along with rookies of Gary Carter, George Brett, Robin Yount, Fred Lynn, and Jim Rice, a solid lineup of established stars populate the checklist, one of which is Pete Rose. Major League Baseball’s hit king amassed 4,286 hits throughout his career, his Charlie Hustle style of play and prickly attitude endearing him to some while making him a villain to others. But regardless of where people’s feelings fall for Rose, it’s inarguable that he remains one of the most collected players of his generation. The 1975 Topps set’s colorful borders and release date of 50 years ago mean finding high-quality examples of stars such as Rose is difficult. Of the 362,000-plus 1975 Topps cards assessed by PSA, just under 4,500 (1.2%) have earned a 10 Gem Mint grade. A PSA 10 of Rose’s #320 is even rarer, with only 24 of the 6,021 (0.4%) assessed by PSA earning such a designation. That microscopic ratio means vintage baseball fans will need to channel Rose’s grit and determination if they want to cross home plate with this card in their collection. The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 04/07/2025.
