(LOT 214)
"Unique for the Grade" 1951 Bowman #112 Willie Jones (PSA Gem Mint 10) – "1 of 1": The SOLE Highest Graded Example!

Third sacker Willie Jones played most of his extensive 15-year career with the Philadelphia Phillies, tallying a formidable 190 career homers and 812 R.B.I.'s. Ironically, his 1951 campaign may have arguably been his finest season when he belted 22 dingers, knocked in 81 runs and posted his premier batting average (.285) and OPS (.828), for it his miraculous 1951 Bowman card that is presented here in a "PSA Gem Mint 10" holder. The undisputed "best of the rest", this just happens to be the SOLE example at the hallowed "10" assessment, standing tall over the other inferior 230+ PSA encapsulated copies!

His extremely well-centered image reveals a brilliant candid smile that literally jumps off the card via its vibrant red tints and facial hues, as well as its awe-inspiring crystal-clear clarity. Rounding out this fantastic marvel are snow white borders, blistering sharp corner tips and super clean surfaces, with the verso eluding any of the typical gum stains that plague many of the '51 Bowman subjects! A bona-fide "keeper", it has withstood the test of time, stubbornly defying the past 68 years to achieve the only PSA 10 assessment that places it as the irrefutable "king of the hill!"
