(LOT 845)
"Unique for the Grade" 1958 Topps #168 Joe Cunningham PSA 10 GEM MINT – "POP 1"

Joe Cunningham played 12 MLB seasons, with his finest campaigns realized during his first seven years with the St. Louis Cardinals. The first baseman/outfielder batted a career high .345 in 1959, leading the National League in On-Base Percentage via a sensational .453 mark. As a grand testament for that All-Star 1959 campaign, presented here is Joe Cunningham's 1958 Topps PSA 10 GEM MINT subject that was issued only a year before his finest season. Likewise, this miraculous "POP 1" memento stands alone at the summit of the illustrious PSA population report as the "best of the rest!" Cunningham exhibits his classic left-handed batting pose via a sparkling array of rich hues, highlighted by a seemingly flawless cool-mint green background. Spot-on centering between four snow white borders and a razor-sharp perimeter also support the grade, and meticulous collectors should strongly keep in mind that of the 300+ PSA encapsulated copies, this is the SOLE Cunningham subject to achieve the sanctified "10" assessment!
