1966 Topps #100 Sandy Koufax PSA 9 – Final Topps Card of a Legend in Peak Form
In 1966, Sandy Koufax was at the height of his powers—and at the end of the line. Just 30 years old, Koufax would go 27–9 with a 1.73 ERA, 317 strikeouts, and his third Cy Young Award… all while pitching through immense pain from chronic arthritis. He led the league in wins, innings pitched, and strikeouts—then stunned the baseball world by announcing his retirement at season’s end. The man who had thrown four no-hitters, dominated October, and redefined pitching excellence exited the game on top, forever a mythical figure in baseball lore.
The 1966 Topps #100 Koufax is not just a beautiful card—it’s his final Topps issue as an active player, making it an essential piece for vintage collectors. This PSA 9 example is exceptional in every way: rich, saturated colors, razor-sharp corners, and near-perfect centering, a rarity for the notoriously off-centered ’66 set. Koufax’s serene expression against the soft blue sky evokes the calm before unleashing a fastball that left hitters bewildered.
A high-grade, end-of-career classic from one of the most dominant left-handers to ever toe the rubber—this is Koufax at his pinnacle, immortalized in cardboard.
