A CHICO RUIZ from the 1965 TOPPS set, card #554. This is a great addition to any CINCINNATI REDS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This 1965 Topps Chico Ruiz is a high-grade example with excellent surface preservation and clean edges. The primary grading constraint is the noticeable top-left centering shift on the front. Aside from the alignment and minor touches of corner wear typical for this era, the card remains in remarkably sharp condition.
