Up for sale is a 1971 Topps #5 Thurman Munson All-Star Rookie, graded SGC 6 EX-NM. The 1971 Topps set is notorious for its black borders that show every ding and chip, making high-grade examples especially tough to track down — a solid EX-NM is a strong grade for this issue.

In on of the most iconic action shots, this card captures Munson early in his career as an All-Star Rookie, ahead of his Hall of Fame-caliber run with the Yankees that ended tragically in 1979. I was a kid when he died, and I can remember the exact moment I heard.  

A key card for any Yankees or 1970s rookie collection. Nice eye appeal with strong borders for the grade. Ships securely
