1961 Bell Brand # 32 - Sandy Koufax - PSA 5
Koufax was perhaps the most dominating left-handed pitcher of all-time and one of the most beloved Dodgers in their storied history. Such dominance was never more apparent than his performances in Games 1 and 4 of the 1963 World Series and Games 5 and 7 of the 1965 World Series. Sandy, a 3-time Cy Young Award winner, was enshrined into the Hall of Fame in 1972. Being 36, this made him the youngest played to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Koufax is also remembered for being one of the most outstanding Jewish athletes of his time.

1962 Topps # 001 - Roger Maris - SGC 70
Although Maris is mostly known for his 61 HRs in '61, he was a dominant player for a short time period, winning the American League MVP Award in 1960 and 1961 and being named to four consecutive All-Star teams. As he approached the home run record, the press became increasingly protective of Babe Ruth’s record, prompting Maris to state, “I’m not trying to be Babe Ruth; I’m trying to hit sixty-one home runs and be Roger Maris.”

1962 Topps # 387 - Lou Brock (RC) - Rookie - SGC 80
Brock, depicted here as a young rookie with the Cubbies, was one of the greatest base stealers of all-time, ending his career with 938, in addition to his more than 3,000 hits.

1963 Fleer # 005 - Willie Mays - SGC 60
Known as "The Say Hey Kid," Mays was undoubtedly one of the greatest all-around baseball players in the history of the game. This New York (and San Francisco) Giants legend was enshrined into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1979. Winning the Gold Glove Award an amazing twelve times prompted one sportscaster to say that “Willie Mays should play in handcuffs to even things up.” Joe DiMaggio once stated that Mays possessed the greatest throwing arm in baseball. It’s interesting to note that Willie’s father allegedly began teaching him to catch before he could walk.
