1973 Topps #84 Rollie Fingers PSA 9 – Near Gem Mint of the Mustached Relief Ace

By 1973, Rollie Fingers was already carving out his path to Cooperstown as one of the game’s first true elite relief pitchers. Anchoring the bullpen of the Oakland Athletics dynasty, Fingers helped lead the A’s to their second of three consecutive World Series championships that season. Known for his durability, clutch performances, and of course his trademark handlebar mustache, Fingers became a defining figure in the rise of the modern closer.

The 1973 Topps set is admired for its clean white borders, full-bleed action photography, and condition sensitivity—particularly with centering and print quality. This PSA 9 example is a strikingly well-preserved card from a notoriously tough issue. It boasts sharp corners, crisp edges, and a vivid image of Fingers in his classic A’s green and gold, a picture that perfectly reflects the colorful personality and dominance he brought to the mound.

High-grade cards of 1970s Hall of Famers continue to see strong collector demand, and this Near Gem Mint example stands out as one of the most attractive Fingers cards available. With its combination of grade, eye appeal, and historical significance, it serves as both a showcase piece and a cornerstone addition to any serious run of 1970s Topps Hall of Fame issues.
