(LOT 833)
"Unique for the Grade" 1958 Topps #100 Early Wynn "Yellow Team Letters" PSA 10 GEM MINT – "POP 1"; The SOLE Highest Graded PSA Example!

This pack-fresh 1958 Topps #100 Early Wynn PSA 10 GEM MINT "Yellow Team Letters" offering just happens to be the SOLE and highest graded example! Indeed, "unique for the grade", it stands alone at the summit of the illustrious PSA "Pop" Chart, outdistancing all of its inferior 330+ PSA peers. Synonymous to this card's immortal standing is Hall of Famer Early Wynn's outstanding 23-year career with the burly right-hander winning an even 300 games while posting five 20+ winning seasons and being a member of nine All-Star teams. Wynn claimed the American League Cy Young Award in 1959 via his 22 victories, ably assisting the White Sox in capturing the A.L. Pennant. Likewise, this museum worthy masterpiece offers championship caliber via its 'POP 1" highest graded stature, with its scarcer "Yellow Chicago White Sox Team Letters" justified by PSA's "Pop" Chart listing some 830 "white letters" and only 330+ "yellow letters" – a substantial "2.5 to 1" disparity. Wynn's well-centered portrait pose is brilliant to say the least, flanked by a radiant yellow setting, dazzling white borders and a razor-sharp perimeter. Impeccable surfaces and striking hues are the final compliments for this "one of a kind" gem that truly stands as the undisputed example on the planet!
