Offered here is the highest PSA graded Roger Maris MVP card from 1961 Topps set from the year he hit a then-record 61 home runs and was awarded the American League MVP. This home run total broke Babe Ruth’s record of 60 homers in a season, a record once thought unbreakable. The card features an image of Maris following through on his mighty swing. The PSA MINT 9 example is virtually flawless, with beautiful coloring, sharp corners and snowy-white borders. The only thing keeping it from a perfect Gem Mint 10 is centering ever-so-slightly off. No copies have ever achieved a perfect grade in the PSA pop report, and this is one of 22 Mint 9 examples.
