1987 Leaf George Brett #96 PSA 10 GEM MT

George Brett

(b. May 15, 1953 - )

Brett was the talk of baseball in 1980 when he made a season-long run at becoming the big leagues' first .400 hitter since Ted Williams in 1941. He carried a .400 average as late as Sept. 19, but ultimately finished with a .390 batting average. Brett won his second of three batting titles that season, and he also too home his only Most Valuable Player award. He ended his career as the first player to post 3,000 hits, 300 home runs, 600 doubles, 100 triples, 1,500 RBI and 200 stolen bases.

Inducted in 1999

Comments: My first Brett portrait was a 1981 Spot-Bilt PSA 9 card purchased in September, 2002. I replaced it with a PSA 9 1987 Donruss card in Nov, 2003 and upgraded to a PSA 10 gem in August, 2004.

UPDATE: I had another 1987 Donruss card in my collection - Fred McGriff (a potential HOFer). I always thought I could replace the Brett with a Leaf version to give me a different type card. In June, 2015 I found a 1987 Leaf PSA 9 for cheap and picked it up. Eventually, I'd like a PSA 10.

UPDATE: It's February, 2026 and after many years of getting shut out on different PSA 10 examples which have shown up on eBay, I was finally able to snag an upgrade. The population report is fairly low. The card showed up maybe 2 or 3 times, and my previous bids didn't do the trick. But, I was happy it finally worked out this time around and I crossed off the PSA 10 from my Wantlist.
