Description: his lot features the 1967 Topps Joe Morgan #337 PSA 9 -- “I have never seen anyone, and I mean anyone, play better than Joe has played this year,” Cincinnati Reds manager Sparky Anderson told reporters in 1975. Comparable in size to Dead Ball era players at 5-foot-7, 160 pounds, Morgan instead was perfectly suited to the artificial surface game of the 1970s, when he emerged as one of the key cogs in Cincinnati’s Big Red Machine. In the Reds’ back-to-back World Series championship years in 1975-76, Morgan won back-to-back MVP awards in the National League, as well as two of his five consecutive Gold Glove Awards. Morgan signed with the expansion Houston Colt .45s in 1962. He reached the majors for the first time in 1963 and became Houston’s regular second baseman in 1965. He spent nine seasons with Houston and made two All-Star Game appearances, but became a Hall of Famer after being traded in November 1971 to the Reds and leaving Houston’s cavernous Astrodome. He led the league in walks, on-base percentage and runs scored in his first season with Cincinnati and earned All-Star nods in each of his eight seasons with the Reds. In his peak years of 1975 and ’76, he led baseball in OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage.) Here’s a great looking example of his 1967 card here. This beauty has 4 razor shar corners, 4 exceptional borders and a blazing surface with full gloss, color and clarity. The reverse is crisp and clean with pack fresh background color, near perfect centering and no marks or blemishes of any kind.
