(LOT 178)
1951 Bowman #6 Don Newcombe (PSA Gem Mint 10) – "1 of 2": Highest Graded Example!

Hard throwing Brooklyn Dodgers right-handed twirler Don Newcombe never looked better than in this unfathomable 1951 Bowman PSA Gem Mint 10 offering that has been joined by only a single other example as the finest of its kind! Indeed, PSA has currently encapsulated over 400 examples with only two specimens achieving the pinnacle "10" assessment. Newcombe's storied MLB career spanned 10 seasons in which he won 149 games, with his best season in 1956 when he posted a sensational 27-7 record and ably assisted Brooklyn in capturing the N.L. pennant.

This "perfect" offering likewise boasts championship caliber via its awe-inspiring Newcombe pitching pose that portrays sparkling blue and gray hues as well as unimprovable crystal-clear clarity. The virtually dead-on centered illustration resides between snow white borders and a razor-sharp perimeter including pinpoint corners. The final superlative is a super clean verso that atypically reveals no gum stains, with this world-class keepsake destined to become one of the main attractions of any esteemed 1951 Bowman gathering!
