Description

1971 O-Pee-Chee Denis Menke #130 Shortstop Houston Astros (EX 5) Secure a classic 1970s infielder with this 1971 O-Pee-Chee Denis Menke #130 vintage card. Denis Menke was a highly skilled, versatile infielder who earned two All-Star selections during his distinguished career. Renowned for his excellent patience at the plate and steady glove at shortstop and third base, Menke was a vital component of the Houston Astros' lineups during the late 60s and early 70s. This card features Menke holding his bat over his shoulder, framed by the beautiful but hyper-fragile jet-black borders. Because O-Pee-Chee cards were manufactured in London, Ontario in smaller quantities, they carry a distinct premium for vintage hobby enthusiasts. The back displays his complete statistical history along with a bilingual bio highlighting his positional flexibility and strong 1970 campaign. The delicate black borders show standard minor chipping along the outer edges, revealing the lighter card stock beneath in tiny flecks. The corners are slightly softened but uniform. Image centering is off-center toward the top-left on the obverse side. The reverse yellow face presents beautifully with excellent ink contrast, no pencil marks, and clean paper surfaces. Grade Estimate: EX 5
