1960 Topps, Duke Snider

Card No. 493

A central figure for the Brooklyn Dodgers' "Boys of Summer" team in 1955, the great Duke Snider is today's Jukebox hit....This is one of the most beautiful cards ever churned out by the Topps Chewing Gum Company....One of many amazing cards I inherited from my dad's boyhood collection....The "Duke of Flatbush" was enshrined in Cooperstown in 1980....His rookie card can be found in the iconic '52 Topps set....Nearing the end of his majestic career, Duke batted just .243 with 14 homers for L.A. in 1960.
