This 1975 Topps #67 Tug McGraw has been awarded the highest possible grade of GEM MT 10 by PSA (certification no. 63711059), placing it among the finest examples of this card in existence. The 1975 Topps issue is famous for its bright two-tone borders, which make even the slightest chipping, edge wear or print flaw immediately noticeable, so pristine examples like this one are extremely difficult to locate.

The front showcases a bold magenta and yellow design with "METS" lettering, featuring McGraw in his New York Mets pinstripes posed in his pitching motion with a facsimile signature. This example exhibits outstanding centering, razor-sharp corners, clean edges and vibrant colors on flawless, glossy surfaces. The reverse carries McGraw's complete major league pitching record through 1974 along with the notation that he had appeared in more games than any other pitcher in Mets history.

McGraw was one of the most colorful personalities of his era and the emotional heart of the 1973 Mets, whose improbable run to the National League pennant was fueled by his famous rallying cry, "Ya Gotta Believe." Following the 1974 season he was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies, where he would record the final out of the 1980 World Series, delivering the franchise its first championship. This card captures him at the close of his memorable tenure in Queens.

A perfect, gem-quality example from a classic 1970s Topps issue, ideally suited for advanced set registry collectors or Mets enthusiasts seeking the very best.
