1958 Topps #346 Steve Bilko PSA 10 GEM MINT – "POP 2"; Highest Graded Example!
This extraordinary PSA 10 GEM MINT 1958 Topps #346 Steve Bilko has managed to survive as one of only two perfect PSA 10s on their illustrious population report! Indeed, 200+ additional PSA-graded specimens have failed to achieve grading superiority, with this POP 2 keepsake retaining bragging rights for years to come. Steve Bilko played 10 MLB seasons, twice belting over 20 home runs, and traded from Cincinnati to the Dodgers during the '58 campaign; after his #346 subject was issued depicting Bilko in a Reds uniform. We cannot detect a single flaw on this cardboard marvel that portrays an imposing portrait pose of the former first baseman. Near-perfect centering, pinpoint corners, blinding white borders and razor-sharp corner tips are the final superlatives for this remarkable offering that truly stands as one of the finest surviving 1958 Topps subjects!
