1960 Topps #387 1959 World Series Game #3 - Furillo Breaks up Game
Part of the seven-card 1959 World Series subset (#385-391) — the first World Series cards in any baseball set.
Cards #375-440 were printed on two back stocks, white and gray. White is the scarcer of the two, and the difference is the tint of the cardboard on the reverse — it is a stock variation, not a design change, so both backs read identically.

The players on this card
Card #387 marks Los Angeles's first-ever World Series home game, played October 4, 1959, before 92,394 fans at the Memorial Coliseum -- at the time the largest crowd ever to watch a Series contest. Don Drysdale and Chicago starter Dick Donovan matched zeros into the seventh, Drysdale scattering 11 hits while stranding runner after runner. Los Angeles finally broke through when Charlie Neal singled and Norm Larker and Gil Hodges walked to load the bases with two out. Manager Walt Alston called on 37-year-old Carl Furillo to pinch-hit against reliever Gerry Staley, and Furillo chopped a grounder toward short that hopped high over Luis Aparicio's glove and rolled into center field, scoring Neal and Larker. Larry Sherry worked two scoreless innings for his second save of the Series as the Dodgers held on, 3-1, taking a two-games-to-one Series lead they would turn into a six-game championship. Card #387 is part of Topps' pioneering seven-card 1959 World Series subset (#385-391), the first World Series cards issued in any baseball set.

Graded population — a scarcity guide, not a price. Snapshot 2026-08-20. Half-grades fold down (8.5→8), and PSA's qualified grades are counted separately from the straight-grade rows shown here. Neither grader separates the white and gray back stocks on this card, so the counts below cover both. The Venezuelan issue, the 1960 Topps Tattoos and Bazooka are separate products and are not counted here.
