For Philadelphia fans, Mike Schmidt stands for everything great about the Phillies and the game of baseball itself. He spent his entire 18-year career in Philadelphia, carving out a legacy at third base that few players in Major League history can rival. His first full season with the Phillies, 1973, proved unremarkable, but in 1974 Mike Schmidt broke out to lead the league in home runs. This foreshadowed a tremendous run of success with both bat and glove. In a Hall of Fame career that would span the rest of the decade and most of the next, Mike Schmidt belted 548 career home runs, securing a legacy as one of the game’s all-time greatest sluggers.
One of the undisputed "key" rookie cards from the 1970’s, this scarcer "High Number" memento, with merely one-third of its pictorial content devoted to the Phillies' Hall of Famer, is a modern classic. Among the most notable attributes demonstrated by the offered specimen is its near perfect centering. Add flawless photographic clarity, bright white borders and pristine corners and you’ve got more than enough to earn PSA’s MINT 9 designation.
