This is a 1962 Topps #199 rookie card featuring Hall of Fame pitcher Gaylord Perry of the San Francisco Giants.

The front of the card features a portrait of Perry with a yellow "1962 ROOKIE" star in the upper-left and the classic "peeled back" corner graphic in the lower-right displaying his name, team, and position. The reverse side contains his "Minor League Pitching Record, " a biographical section titled "Keeping Tacoma Happy, " and a cartoon illustration. The card was manufactured in the U.S.A. by T.C.G. (Topps Chewing Gum). This is an original, vintage English-language printing and is presented in an ungraded state.
