(LOT 892)
"Unique for the Grade" 1958 Topps #445 Bob Smith Rookie Card - PSA 10 GEM MINT – "POP 1"; The SOLE Highest Graded Example!

Right-handed hurler Bob Smith made his MLB debut for the Boston Red Sox in 1958, ultimately playing only two seasons with three different teams (BoSox, Cubbies & Cleveland). His legacy will forever be secured via this extraordinary PSA 10 GEM MINT 1958 Topps #445 subject that stands as the SOLE example on the PSA "Pop" Chart! Indeed, over 300 Smith specimens have been reviewed by PSA with only this single "POP 1" offering managing to achieve sheer grading perfection. The highlight of this unique marvel is the absolutely brilliant pink hued background that encompasses Smith's candid portrait pose. Near-perfect centering between four blinding white borders, as well as blistering sharp edges and impeccable surfaces complete this timeless masterpiece that merits a final resting place in any world-class 1958 Topps PSA registered gathering!
