"Unique for the Grade" 1958 Topps #278 Mack Burk PSA 10 GEM MINT – "POP 1"; The SOLE Highest Graded Example!
Philadelphia Phillies catcher Mack Burk's claim to fame is that he stroked a hit in one of his only two MLB at-bats, ending his major league career after the 1958 campaign with a .500 lifetime batting average. While the meager two at bats certainly does not warrant the .500 figure to officially eclipse Ty Cobb's .366 all-time mark, not even the Georgia Peach can arguably boast a card that presents as well as this unfathomable PSA 10 GEM MINT 1958 Topps #288 offering that stands as the undisputed sole example at the pinnacle 10 assessment! Indeed, this PSA POP 1 marvel forever ensures Mack's legacy, highlighted by a breathtaking portrait pose that is extremely well projected via the impeccable blood orange backdrop. Mack's richly hued image reveals the finest possible centering imaginable between four blinding white borders, with the fine edging, pinpoint corners, and pristine surfaces all combining to further substantiate the one of a kind assessment!
