1960 Topps #207 Bob Boyd PSA 8 - One of the First African-American Batting Aces, Preserved in High-Grade Form

By the time Bob Boyd appeared in the 1960 Topps set, he had already etched his place in baseball history. Known for his high-contact approach and quick bat, Boyd was one of the earliest African-American players in the American League, making his MLB debut in 1951. In 1957, he batted a stellar .318 for the Baltimore Orioles, proving his value as a consistent and underrated contributor throughout the decade.

This PSA 8 copy of card #207 is an impressive example from the colorful and collector-favorite 1960 Topps release. The dual-photo layout pairs Boyd’s sharp portrait with an in-action black-and-white vignette, creating a compelling design that captures the era. The card features rich color, clean borders, and above-average centering, making it a visually appealing representative of a player whose legacy is often overlooked.
