1972 Topps #330 Jim Hunter PSA 10 – Pop 3 Gem from the Oakland Dynasty

By 1972, Jim “Catfish” Hunter was in the midst of becoming one of the defining pitchers of his generation — a fierce competitor with pinpoint control and a calm demeanor that belied his dominance. That season, Hunter went 21–7 with a 2.04 ERA, leading the Oakland Athletics into their first of three consecutive World Series championships. His command, durability, and knack for shining brightest in October earned him a reputation as one of the great big-game pitchers of the 1970s and ultimately a place in Cooperstown.

The 1972 Topps #330 captures Hunter during the golden age of A’s baseball — the bold uniforms, the swagger, and the unmistakable mustache of an era. The ’72 set’s colorful, psychedelic design bursts with vintage charm, and in PSA 10 Gem Mint condition, this card sits among the absolute elite, Pop 3 with none graded higher. The example exhibits flawless centering, razor-sharp edges, deep color saturation, and pristine surface gloss, making it a truly museum-quality specimen of one of the decade’s most eye-catching issues.

High-grade survivors of early-’70s Topps cards are notoriously rare, and this Catfish Hunter PSA 10 is as close to perfection as they come. A dazzling piece of 1970s baseball history, it celebrates not just a Hall of Famer, but a golden era of dominance that helped define the Oakland A’s dynasty.
