"Unique for the Grade" 1958 Topps #69 Wally Burnette PSA 10 GEM MINT – "POP 1"; The SOLE Highest Graded Example!
The bona fide "best of the rest", this extraordinary PSA 10 GEM MINT 1958 Topps Wally Burnette "POP 1" offering resides at the top of the prestigious PSA population report as the finest of its kind! Of the 300+ PSA encapsulated copies, it staggers the mind to think that only a sole Burnette example has managed to achieve the hallowed "10" assessment. Right-handed pitcher Wally Burnette played only three MLB seasons with the Kansas City Athletics, with 1958 being his final campaign. Fortunately for an abundance of collectors, the Topps Chewing Gum Company managed to include him in their 1958 set as subject #69, with this unfathomable "1 of 1" gem reserved for one of the premier PSA Registered '58 Topps sets. Its utmost brilliance stems from the candid Burnette "smiling" pose that is vividly projected via a flawless mustard-orange background. Blinding white borders, scintillating corner tips, near-perfect centering, crisp surfaces and the lack of any noticeable flaws all combine to support the hallowed assessment that places this undisputed "unique for the grade" masterpiece at the top of the "Pop" chart!
