(LOT 970)
1957 Topps #75 Jimmy Piersall (PSA Gem Mint 10) – The SOLE PSA Gem Mint 10 Example!

Highly popular centerfielder Jimmy Piersall played 17 major league seasons with five teams from 1950-1967, battling a bipolar disorder throughout his career that ultimately led to both a book and film titled "Fear Strikes Out." His cardboard legacy is directly tied to Ted Williams when in 1954, the Bowman Gum Company replaced the #66 Ted Williams subject (due to contractual issues) with a #66 Jimmy Piersall. While he will never be enshrined in Cooperstown, N.Y., this amazing 1957 Topps #75 Jimmy Piersall offering is surely worthy of any cardboard Hall of Fame via its PSA Gem Mint 10 assessment that stands as the SOLE "10" among the 620 PSA encapsulated Piersall subjects! The "10" grade is truly justified by the pack-fresh aesthetics including an immaculate portrait image, pinpoint corners, razor sharp edges, impeccable surfaces and the near-perfect centering that is virtually impossible to find on ANY 1957 Topps subject. New to the hobby!!!
