"Unique for the Grade" 1958 Topps #206 Bob Shaw Rookie Card PSA 10 GEM MINT – "POP 1"; The SOLE Highest Graded Example!
Bob Shaw's inaugural MLB card, this extraordinary PSA GEM MINT 10 keepsake resides as the SOLE example at this pinnacle plateau, besting all of the 225+ PSA encapsulated copies as the finest of its kind! Right-hander twirler Bob Shaw's true rookie season was 1958 (he only pitched 9 innings in the latter part of the 1957 campaign), starting the season with the Detroit Tigers and later traded to the Chicago White Sox. The 11-year MLB pitcher would post his finest year in 1959, tallying 18 wins and a superb 2.69 E.R.A. while leading the A.L. with a .750 winning percentage. This PSA 10 Topps rookie card exhibits a stoic portrait image of the bygone hurler, portraying rich facial hues and highlighted by a super eye pleasing tranquil pink background. The finest virtually "dead-on" 50/50 centering imaginable, sharp right-angled corners, dazzling white borders and a gleaming obverse side surface are additional attributes consistent with the "one of a kind" PSA assessment!
