1948 Bowman #5 Bob Feller PSA 9 MINT - Only Two PSA Examples Graded Higher!

MINT RAPID ROBERT!!!... One of Bob Feller's key cards is his 1948 Bowman #5 subject, with this PSA 9 MINT marvel only bested by a meager two PSA specimens! Even after losing almost four full years of his prime in the Navy during WWII, Feller still managed to win an astounding 266 games, including six 20-win seasons, 2,500+ lifetime strikeouts and a staggering 348 Ks in a single season. The highlight of this time-defying marvel is the near-perfect image positioning, with a majority of all 1948 Bowman cards reflecting skewed illustrations. The classic Feller pose has eluded any notable flaws over the past 76 years, with the impeccable image registration and super clean surfaces tantamount to any pack-fresh card. The corners are as sharp as the "12 to 6" break on Feller's curve, and three of the edges do reveal a somewhat rough factory-cut. In closing, the sensational aesthetics and hallowed PSA 9 grade combine to place this as one of Feller's most formidable cardboard gems!
