1960 Topps #390 1959 World Series Game #6 - Scrambling After Ball
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.
About this card
Cards #385-391 recap the 1959 World Series between the Dodgers and the White Sox - the first World Series subset ever printed in a baseball set.
The players on this card
Game Six of the 1959 World Series, played October 8 at Comiskey Park, closed out one of the more lopsided Fall Classics of the decade. With the White Sox trailing three games to two and facing elimination, ace Early Wynn started on just two days' rest. Los Angeles struck for two runs in the third on a Duke Snider home run, then broke the game open with a six-run fourth that chased Wynn and featured a two-run Wally Moon homer. Ted Kluszewski answered for Chicago with a three-run shot off Johnny Podres, but reliever Larry Sherry - working his fourth appearance of the Series - shut the Sox down over the final five and two-thirds innings for his second win. Dodgers pinch-hitter Chuck Essegian added a ninth-inning home run, his second of the Series and still a World Series record. The 9-3 victory gave Los Angeles its first championship, four games to two, with Sherry named Series MVP.

Graded population — a scarcity guide, not a price. Snapshot 2026-08-20. Half grades fold down for both graders (8.5→8); PSA qualified slabs (OC, ST, PD, MC and the like) are not counted. 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.
