Showcasing the beloved St. Louis Cardinals second baseman mid-swing, this card captures the pure spirit of 1970s baseball styling.

This card is in excellent shape, displaying lightly touched corners that retain solid vintage points. The edges are straight with minimal handling wear. Centering is shifted slightly toward the right border but remains well within acceptable parameters for an EX grade level. The front face gloss is highly clean, free from surface scratches, wax residue, or structural creasing. An excellent choice for completing your 1972 O-Pee-Chee binder or expanding your St. Louis Cardinals historical collection. Grade Estimate: EX 5
