What is the toughest rookie card of the 1960s?

Toughest Topps rookie card of the '60's, period? Aside from the regular issues, the 1969 Topps Super printer's proof Reggie Jackson. I have one, obtained a number of years ago from Steve Verkman, and have only seen one other come up since, either in an REA or Heritage auction about 4-6 years ago (PSA, I believe, subsequently stopped grading printer's proofs).

Best to all,

Larry

Hardest 1960s rookies (stretching the boundaries a little):

1967 Cincinnati Reds Team Issue PC - Johnny Bench:


1963 Houston Colt 45s Team Issue - Joe Morgan:


1963-64 UNC-Dominican "Album" card - Phil Niekro:


1965 Baltimore Orioles Team Issue PC - Jim Palmer:


1963 Cincinnati Reds Team Issue PC - Pete Rose:


1969 Topps Test Issue - Bowie Kuhn:


For those that I don't own, I'd love to acquire a 1966 Pro's Pizza of Fergie Jenkins. I saw one years ago at auction and haven't seen another since. I'd also love a 1963 San Diego Team Issue (8"x10") of Tony Perez. Hint, hint!

Great team issue Bench, Derek. That one's been on my want list for quite awhile. Send my a PM if you ever want to sell.

Highest regards,

That Palmer is insane. Any time.
Here are a few I have picked up from Derek.

I forgot about Steve Carlton and Tom Seaver for this 1960s "rookie" thread. Nice cards, Peter! The '65 Carlton is pretty difficult. Yours has the hollow "LPIU" label which is why it's dated to '65. The solid "LPIU" labels are from '67-68 and, while the image is the same for Carlton in both issues, the cropping is slightly different. Nice one!
