1955 Topps #2 Ted Williams PSA 8.5 NM-MT+
POP 3 WILLIAMS!!! Ted Williams heroic military stints in World War II and the Korean War as well as his arguable status as baseball's "greatest hitter ever" has earned "Teddy Ballgame" iconic stature second to none. This Boston Red Sox legend, with his myriad of unparalleled hitting achievements and fighter pilot war accomplishments, captivated a country and stands as the true embodiment of the American hero. It is no coincidence that the "Splendid Splinter" even managed to hit a home run in the last swing of his illustrious career; poetic justice at its best for baseball's greatest all-time hitter! The aforementioned accolades certainly attest to Ted's legacy, and it is this reason why countless high-end vintage card collectors seek to attain his most valuable artifacts. One of his most popular baseball cards is the 1955 Topps #2 subject depicting two classic colorful lithographic poses of The Kid. Synonymous with his supreme batting exploits, it just so happens this PSA 8.5 NM-MT+ Ted Williams offering currently shares the spotlight with only two other copies. The card itself depicts two sparkling Williams images (one portrait and one batting), situated between four white borders. Glistening surfaces, pinpoint corner tips and a clean reverse. Own this POP 3 Williams!
