My vintage card of the week: The 1964 Topps Pete Rose. I much prefer this second Topps card to his rookie card. Pete’s first solo card with the All-Star Rookie trophy is just visually superior to the four floating heads on the 1963 card. And I’m glad I feel that way, because this card was much more affordable to add to my collection than his rookie card would be!
