1928 Tharp's Ice Cream #19 Dave Bancroft SGC 5 EX - "POP 1"; Highest Graded Example on BOTH the SGC & PSA Census Reports!
HIGHEST GRADED POP 1 BANCROFT!!!... Slick-fielding Hall of Fame shortstop Dave Bancroft played 16 MLB seasons, with one of the switch-hitter's rarest cards being his 1928 Tharp's Ice Cream issue. Extremely condition sensitive, this SGC 5 EX #19 Tharp's offering stands alone on the SGC census report and just happens to be the highest graded example on both the SGC and PSA Pop Charts! While finding mid-grade Tharp's ice cream examples is a near-impossible task, locating a subject with virtually dead-on 50/50 centering is an even more excruciating chore. This Bancroft Tharp's marvel portrays a super clear image that just happens to reveal near-perfect positioning between four relatively clean borders. A bona fide finest of its kind memento, it truly resides as one of Bancroft's scarcest cards, presented here as a pinnacle unique for the grade cardboard treat!
