The 1957 Topps baseball card set is one of the most celebrated and iconic sets in the history of baseball card collecting. Comprising 407 cards, it features a colorful design with a distinctive "full-color" layout, showcasing player images against vibrant backgrounds. Each card includes the player's name, team, position, and a facsimile autograph. The 1957 set is particularly notable for its inclusion of baseball legends such as Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron, and Willie Mays, making it a cornerstone for collectors. The 1957 Topps set marks the first time actual photography was employed by Topps and in the smaller 2.5" by 3.5" format for the first time.

This single 1957 Topps card is of the May 4th Contest Card that has been graded PSA4 or VG-EX.
