Add a true piece of 1950s baseball history to your collection with this 1953 Topps Harvey Haddix #273 featuring the St. Louis Cardinals pitcher.
The 1953 Topps set is one of the most recognizable early Topps baseball releases, known for its beautiful painted player portraits, colorful backgrounds, and classic nameplate design. This Harvey Haddix card features a fantastic portrait against the bright green background with the vintage Cardinals logo.
Haddix went on to become a three-time All-Star and three-time Gold Glove winner, but he is probably best remembered for one of the wildest pitching performances in MLB history: throwing 12 perfect innings against the Milwaukee Braves in 1959 before eventually losing the game in the 13th inning.
