1966 Topps #100 Sandy Koufax
A double print in the set, and Sandy Koufax's last solo Topps card.
About Sandy Koufax
Koufax sweeps the 1966 leaders cards: number 221 the National League ERA Leaders with Juan Marichal and Vern Law, number 223 the Pitching Leaders with Tony Cloninger and Don Drysdale, number 225 the Strikeout Leaders with Bob Veale and Bob Gibson. All three are third-series cards; number 100, his own, is first series and a double print. The 1965 season they report is one of the greatest ever pitched: 26-8, a 2.04 ERA, 382 strikeouts, a second Triple Crown, a second unanimous Cy Young, a 1-0 perfect game against the Cubs on September 9 and a second World Series MVP after he shut out the Twins twice, the clincher on two days' rest. Number 100 would be his last solo Topps card.
Sanford Koufax, born Sanford Braun in Brooklyn, signed with his hometown Dodgers in December 1954 as a bonus-rule player and never spent a day in the minor leagues; the missing apprenticeship left him wild for six seasons. The turn came in 1961, when a tightened delivery and a catcher's advice to stop overthrowing made him a winning pitcher. He led the National League in earned run average five straight years, 1962 through 1966, and was an All-Star in each of his last six seasons. He threw four no-hitters, one of them a perfect game against the Chicago Cubs on September 9, 1965, and won the Cy Young Award three times, in 1963, 1965 and 1966, each time unanimously and as the sport's only winner before the award split by league. He added the 1963 National League Most Valuable Player award and the pitching Triple Crown in all three Cy Young years, was World Series MVP in 1963 and 1965, and led the Dodgers to titles both years; his refusal to pitch Game 1 of the 1965 Series on Yom Kippur made him a lasting figure in American Jewish life. Arthritis in his elbow forced him out after 1966 at 30, and he entered the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1972, at 36 the youngest player ever inducted.

Is #100 Sandy Koufax's last card?
It is his last solo Topps card. Koufax also appears later in this set on the three National League pitching leaders cards, #221, #223 and #225.
What are the key cards in the 1966 Topps set?
#1 Willie Mays opens the set and #598 Gaylord Perry closes it. The #50 Mickey Mantle anchors it, with #30 Pete Rose, #100 Sandy Koufax (his last solo Topps card), #300 Bob Clemente, #500 Hank Aaron (his first base card as an Atlanta Brave) and #215 National League 1965 Batting Leaders (Clemente, Aaron and Mays on one card) among the headliners, and three Hall of Fame rookies: #126 Jim Palmer, #254 Phillies Rookie Stars (Ferguson Jenkins) and #288 Dodgers Rookie Stars (Don Sutton). The 76-card high series (#523-598) is the hardest run to complete - 43 of its cards are short prints.
Is 1966 Topps #100 a scarce card?
It is a double print card (cards 30, 36, 50, 90, 93, 100). Six first-series cards were printed in double quantity: Pete Rose, Catfish Hunter, Mickey Mantle, Luis Aparicio, Jim Lonborg (#93) and Sandy Koufax. A double print is more plentiful, not scarcer - Mantle stays a set keystone regardless.
