1952 Topps #33 Warren Spahn Black Back PSA EX 5

1952 Topps #33 Warren Spahn Black Back PSA 5 - The Winningest Left-Hander in Waiting

The 1952 Topps #33 Warren Spahn presents an all-time great while his legend was still being built. By 1952, the Boston Braves ace had already recorded three 20-win seasons, led the National League in victories twice, and established himself as one of baseball’s premier pitchers. Yet remarkably, much of what would make Spahn immortal was still ahead of him.

This PSA EX 5 features the Black Back variation, pairing one of the set’s most recognizable early Hall of Famers with the distinctive reverse found throughout its opening series. Spahn was 31 when this card was issued, but his extraordinary longevity would make 1952 feel almost like the midpoint of a career that seemed to defy time.

Spahn went on to win 363 games, the most ever by a left-handed pitcher, while earning 17 All-Star selections and capturing the 1957 Cy Young Award as he led Milwaukee to a World Series championship. He recorded 13 different 20-win seasons and threw two no-hitters after turning 39. The 1952 Topps Warren Spahn Black Back PSA 5 offers something special: one of baseball’s greatest pitchers already established as an ace, with more than 250 of his career victories still to come.
