(LOT 119)
"Unique for the Grade" 1952 Bowman Football Large #17 Y.A. Tittle (PSA Mint 9) – "1 of 1" & the Highest Graded Example!
Here is the "perfect" card for the most esteemed PSA Registry collector, bar none! This miraculous PSA Mint 9 '52 Bowman Large Y.A. Tittle offering just happens to stand as the SOLE example at this hallowed plateau and the finest of its kind. Indeed, of the 270+ PSA encapsulated copies, this museum worthy offering resides as the ONLY PSA Mint 9 specimen, with not a single PSA 10 appearing on their illustrious population report. Synonymous with this "one of a kind" mint marvel is Y.A. Tittle's amazing gridiron legacy with this great all-time signal caller accumulating a sensational 17-year Hall of Fame career with the Colts, Forty-Niners and Giants. His extensive list of accolades includes a 1963 MVP award, 7 Pro-Bowl appearances, three times leading the league in touchdown passes, and he is still one of only eight quarterbacks who threw an NFL record seven TD's in a single game.

This "unique" offering is the perfect testament for Tittle's unbridled legacy and was issued only four years after Tittle threw his first NFL pass for the Baltimore Colts. Similar to Tittle's outstanding achievements, the card itself emanates sparkling attributes starting with a near-perfectly centered image that portrays the Canton, Ohio inductee in an imposing "passing a football" pose as a member of the San Francisco 49ers. Donning his classic crimson hued #64 jersey, the image is virtually flawless, showing no ill effects over the past 69 years, with the blinding white borders, blistering sharp corner tips and clean verso all contributing to the well-earned "Mint" assessment. The clear-cut "best of the rest", its miraculous "PSA 9" grade has placed it as the undisputed king of the hill, proudly standing alone at the top of the illustrious PSA "Pop" chart!
