1951 Bowman #191 Billy Hitchcock (PSA Gem Mint 10) – "1 of 2": Highest Graded Example!
Light-hitting infielder Billy Hitchcock never looked better than in this absolutely breathtaking "PSA Gem Mint 10" 195 Bowman marvel that has been joined by only a single other example as the "best of the rest!" Indeed, of the nearly 275 PSA encapsulated specimens, only one other copy has managed to achieve the pinnacle "10" grading assessment that defines this illustrious hobby. Hitchcock played 9 MLB seasons with five different ballclubs, with his Philadelphia Athletics stint reflected on this magnificent offering. Portraying the finest possible clarity and sparkling green and blue hues, Hitchcock reveals a pleasant smile for the photographer, with his well centered image only showing the slightest partiality towards the left edge. Brilliant surfaces, pristine-like right-angled corners and blinding white borders complete this museum worthy masterpiece that shares the distinction of being the finest of its kind with only a sole other specimen!
