The iconic ROOKIE CARD of the Wizard of Oz!
Ozzie Smith is regarded as one of the greatest shortstops in baseball history, known for his outstanding defensive skills, which earned him 13 Gold Glove Awards over the course of his career. He was also a 15-time All-Star, won a Silver Slugger Award, and was inducted into the MLB Hall of Fame in 2002. This helps to explain why his rookie card is considered so valuable. His rookie card was produced in limited numbers by Topps in ’79, which was a transition year for the company. Additionally, there were reportedly production issues with the 1979 set, which led to a shortage of certain cards, including Smith's rookie card, making it one of the most sought-after cards from the late 1970s.
