(LOT 849)
"Unique for the Grade" 1958 Topps #216 St. Louis Cardinals Team Checklist PSA 10 GEM MINT – "POP 1"; The SOLE Highest Graded Example!

The 1958 Cardinals' sub-.500 record of 72-82 would land them a fifth place tie in the National League. While not one of their formidable campaigns, this PSA 10 GEM MINT 1958 Topps St. Louis Team Checklist "POP 1" prize certainly offers world-class cardboard stature as it proudly resides at the summit of the PSA "Pop" Chart! Of utmost significance, Stan "The Man" Musial is situated in the middle row (third from the right), with this Cardinals icon playing in his 17th season. The brilliant obverse side reveals rich hues and fine contrast, with the critical list of players reflecting vivid registration. Like PSA, we cannot detect a single flaw on either side, with the virtually spot-on 50/50 centered team image and blinding white borders providing the eye pleasing "pop" enthusiasts crave from a cardboard heirloom. The sole PSA 10, it has effectively separated itself from a hoard of inferior peers, truly residing as one of the most highly-coveted commons from the esteemed 1958 Topps compilation!
