(LOT 247)
1951 Bowman #248 Johnny Klippstein (PSA Gem Mint 10) – "1 of 2": Highest Graded Example!
This remarkable "PSA Gem Mint 10" 1951 Bowman Johnny Klippstein offering just happens to be one of only two "PSA Gem Mint 10" specimens to achieve this hallowed assessment! Right-handed journeyman hurler Johnny Klippstein "hung around" the major leagues for an amazing 18 season, pitching for eight different teams including the Chicago Cubs which is the ballclub he represents in this pinnacle offering. His "hands on waist" pose is simply breathtaking as he dons his period-style Chicago Cubs home uniform with the awe-inspiring baseball field green grass and blue sky revealed in the classic backdrop. The extremely well-centered image depicts rich hues and vivid clarity, encompassed by blinding white borders and a razor-sharp perimeter including four pinpoint corners. A super clean verso is the final compliment for a cardboard memento that merits the highest hobby accolades via its near-impossible PSA 10 assessment!
