(LOT 434)
1953 Bowman Color #46 Roy Campanella PSA 9 MINT
MINT CAMPY!!! Winner of 3 MVP awards in a curtailed sensational career, Campanella defied the embodiment of courage, and along with Jackie Robinson, was the inspirational leader of the great 1950's Brooklyn Dodger teams. One of Campanella's most coveted cardboard keepsakes is his 1953 Bowman Color #46 subject, presented here in a breathtaking PSA Mint 9 holder. The finest of its kind, only eight other examples have managed to join this Cooperstown worthy memento as the highest graded specimen! Campanella's classic batting pose reveals extremely rich hues and a superior facial expression that reflects his customary intensity in the batter's box. "Pack-fresh" surfaces are virtually immaculate, and the highlight of this majestic offering is the near-perfect centering between four absolutely blinding white borders. Blistering sharp corner tips and a pristine-like verso complete this 66-year old "best of the rest" masterpiece.
