Story
On May 30, 1982, a young shortstop for the Baltimore Orioles began a streak that many thought was impossible in the modern era of sports.
Maker / Origin
Topps was the undisputed king of the baseball card world for decades, having held a virtual monopoly on the industry from 1956 until 1980.
Condition & Value
The card appears well-preserved in a protective sleeve. Value for raw (ungraded) copies is driven by centering and corner sharpness.
