1958 Topps #464 Curt Flood ⭐ RC
Curt Flood is widely regarded as both a great baseball player and a man of exceptional integrity and moral courage.
On the field, Flood was one of the finest defensive center fielders in baseball history, winning seven Gold Gloves, helping the Cardinals to two World Series championships.
Off the field, his legacy is even more profound: in 1969, he refused a trade and challenged Major League Baseball’s reserve clause, sacrificing the prime of his career to stand up for players’ rights and personal dignity.
He is remembered not only as an elite player, but as a principled man whose integrity, conscience, and willingness to risk everything for what he believed was right permanently improved baseball.
