1933 Goudey #12 George Pipgras PSA 8 NM-MT - Highest Graded PSA Example!
YANKEE!!! Right-handed twirler George Pipgras spent 11 years in the Major Leagues and was part of four New York Yankees world championship teams in 1923, '27, '28 and '32. Winner of 102 games over his celebrated career, his finest season was in 1928 when he led the American League with 24 victories, also adding an additional win to his lofty total when he threw a complete-game, 4-hitter against the Cardinals in the 1928 World Series. His legacy is firmly secured via this remarkable PSA 8 NM-MT 1933 Goudey offering that along with a meager four other examples, stands as the finest of its kind! Pipgras was obviously no stranger to a championship caliber environment as his four world titles attest to, and synonymous with that concept is the "championship-like" aesthetics emanating from this rare for the grade offering. His classic "hands over head" pitching pose portrays sensational resolution and vibrant hues including a bright yellow background, as Pipgras is about to unleash one of his tantalizing pitches donning his legendary Yankees cap. Near-perfect centering between four super clean borders, pack-fresh surfaces and razor-sharp corner tips all justify the world-class PSA assessment that immediately places this "best of the rest" marvel as one of the most formidable non-Cooperstown Inductees of the landmark Goudey compilation!
