(LOT 7)
Remarkable 1915 Cracker Jack #57 Walter Johnson (PSA Mint 9) - "1 of 5"; NONE Graded Higher!
BIG JOHNSON!!!... One of the most popular pre-WWI candy cards are the Cracker Jacks issued in 1914 and 1915 in caramel popcorn boxes, and due to the serious caramel stains, finding high-grade examples is no simple task. One of the set's most prestigious subjects is the immortal Hall of Fame right-handed pitcher Walter "Big Train" Johnson, with high-end enthusiasts are always seeking to obtain the peak examples of this ultra popular specimen. Synonymous with his elite status among baseball's all-time pitchers comes along this absolutely miraculous PSA Mint 9 1915 Walter Johnson Cracker Jack gem that joins only a paltry 4 other examples as the finest of its kind!

Arguably considered to be the greatest pitcher in our National Pastime's glorious history, Johnson compiled a staggering 417 wins, 110 shutouts (including 38 "1-0" wins), and microscopic 2.17 lifetime E.R.A. The "Big Train" also whiffed over 3,500 batters in his legendary career, and he appears to be ready to fire another one of his blazing fastballs past an overmatched hitter in this classic pitching image that depicts crystal clear clarity and a fire-engine red background. A "blazer" itself, both sides of the card reflect near-flawless surfaces, with the iconic image somewhat favoring the right edge.

Pinpoint corners, razor sharp edges and a super clean verso complete this "timeless" marvel that similar to the Walter Johnson's everlasting legacy has managed to defy 'Father Time". Cracker Jack "Mint 9" examples seldom surface for the taking, especially when they represent one of our National Pastime's most beloved stars. That said, we cannot imagine a finer moment to climb aboard the "Big Train" express and ride this museum worthy masterpiece directly into the heart of your esteemed collection!
