1954 Bowman #117 Dick Kryhoski (PSA Gem Mint 10) – "1 of 2": Highest Graded Example!
Presented here is a truly remarkable 1954 Bowman Dick Kryhoski subject in the hallowed "PSA Gem Mint 10" holder. Its virtually perfect aesthetics support the near-impossible assessment that places it at the top of the PSA Population Report with only a single other example! Left-handed slugging first baseman Dick Kryhoski played seven MLB seasons with the Yankees, Tigers, Browns, Orioles and Athletics. Showing glimpses of power, his finest season was in 1953 when he slugged 16 homers for the St. Louis Browns. Unfortunately for Kryhoski, that would be his final bout with success for in 1954 he inexplicably hit only a single home run in over in 300 official at-bats.

Fortunately for Dick, his legacy is secured forever via this sensational "10" offering that reveals a brilliant portrait image of the former first sacker as he dons his Orioles uniform and provides a robust smile for the camera. Revealing striking facial hues and a richly colored Orioles uniform, the relatively well-centered image only reflects a slight favoritism towards the left edge bright white borders. The flawless-like surfaces and blistering sharp perimeter are the final compliments for this 1954 Bowman gem that unquestionably merits its pinnacle assessment!
