1957 Topps #97 New York Yankees Team Card PSA 8 - The Franchise Kings

Few franchises in professional sports carry the weight of history quite like the New York Yankees, and in 1957, they were still very much in the heart of their dynastic run. Featuring an all-time cast that included Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Enos Slaughter, and Gil McDougald, the Yankees were coming off yet another World Series appearance and had firmly established themselves as the gold standard in baseball. This team card captures that iconic era—when a trip to October was almost expected, and greatness wore pinstripes.

The 1957 Topps #97 Yankees Team card showcases the entire roster in a horizontal, full-team photograph, set against the backdrop of a classic stadium environment. The 1957 Topps design was the company’s first to feature full-color photography, and the team cards from this set hold a special nostalgic charm for collectors. Graded PSA 8, this example is a beautifully preserved piece of cardboard history—featuring vivid color, excellent centering, and sharp edges and corners, particularly impressive for a card that so often suffers from wear due to its larger horizontal format.
