The listing, Original 1960 Topps EARL WILSON (Red Sox) Rookie Card - Topps Buyback! Nice Value! has ended.
This is a 1960 Topps EARL WILSON baseball card.
Wilson was a pitcher with the Boston Red Sox.
This is Wilson's ROOKIE CARD.
ABOUT TOPPS BUYBACKS:
This is a Topps Buyback card. Topps purchased thousands of their own original cards from the secondary market and repackaged them into new card packs where they would appear as inserts (as well as some redemptions and online prizes). The Buyback Cards were stamped with gold foil to indicate that they had been repurchased and redistributed by Topps in the promotion. While this promotion was popular with some and not popular with others, Topps Buybacks seem to maintain a good value, and in many cases 2-3 times the value of the card without the Buyback stamp.
This card, alike many Buybacks, is not mint but is still in the condition it was pulled as a promotion. Overall, still nice condition version of this rookie card; check out the pictures.
