(LOT 632)
"Unique for the Grade" 1954 Bowman #81 Jerry Coleman - Correct ".952/.975 Fielding Avg." Variation - PSA 9 MINT – "POP 1": The SOLE Highest Graded Example!
The "best of the best", this earth-shattering PSA 9 MINT 1954 Bowman Jerry Coleman offering stands tall as the SOLE and finest specimen on the planet! It should be noted that this #81 subject is the CORRECT and scarcer ".952/.975 Fielding Average" variation (as opposed to the incorrect "1.000/.975" version). In 1953, Jerry Coleman handled 21 chances at 2nd base and shortstop, with the sure handed Yankees infielder making only a single error. While the 20 errorless plays (out of 21 chances) equals a .952 fielding percentage, the Bowman Gum Company inadvertently printed a "1.000" fielding % for the 1953 season. As was the case with 40 different 1954 variation cards, Bowman fixed their statistical errors, re-issuing the 40 erroneous subjects reflecting correct stats, with the Jerry Coleman subject being one of those variations. A true "Pop 1"/highest graded example, this immaculate card reveals a stoic half-body portrait pose of the popular Yankees infielder. Brilliant color tints, fine centering impeccable resolution, pack-fresh surfaces, pinpoint corners and bright white borders all combine to more than justify the ultra-rare assessment that places this "unique for the grade" masterpiece as the undisputed pinnacle subject!
