Richie 'Dick' Allen was a powerful MLB slugger and 1964 NL Rookie of the Year with the Philadelphia Phillies. Known for his prodigious hitting, MVP award in 1972, and controversial persona, he hit .292 lifetime with 351 HRs across 15 seasons, playing for Phillies, Cardinals, Dodgers, A's, and others. This card captures his early stardom as an All-Star Rookie.

Condition. Check for centering (often off 60/40), corner wear from pack pulling, print defects on yellow borders, edge chipping; wax stains and print lines common on NM+ or better
Storage. Top-loader with soft sleeve in climate-controlled environment; avoid direct light to prevent color fading on borders and background
Authenticity. Originals have crisp Topps logo, accurate 1965 fonts, no modern gloss; check graded/graded population reports; fakes rare but watch for pixelated images or incorrect back stats
