"Unique for the Grade" 1958 Topps #2 Bob Lemon Yellow Team Letters PSA 9 MINT – "POP 1"; The SOLE Highest Graded PSA Example!
This extraordinary 1958 Topps #2 Bob Lemon PSA 9 MINT "Yellow Team Letters" offering just happens to be the SOLE and highest graded example! Indeed, "unique for the grade", it stands alone at the summit of the illustrious PSA 'Pop" Chart, outdistancing all of its inferior 170+ PSA peers. Synonymous to this card's immortal standing is Hall of Famer Bob Lemon's incredible 13-year career with Cleveland, with the right-handed pitcher compiling seven campaigns of 20+ wins and leading the Junior Circuit in victories on three separate occasions. His stoic portrait pose is flanked by an immaculate yellow background, with the much scarcer yellow "Cleveland Indians" team name reflecting impeccable registration within the green text box (PSA has graded over 500 "white letters" with only some 170 "yellow letters" – a whopping "3 to 1" disparity). Snow-white borders, near-perfect centering, a razor-sharp perimeter and pack-fresh surfaces all combine to justify the "one of a kind" assessment that similar to Lemon's pitching prowess, places this world-class offering as the undisputed "king of the hill!"
