(LOT 872)
– "Unique for the Grade" 1958 Topps #361 Mike Fornieles PSA 10 GEM MINT – "POP 1"; The SOLE Highest Graded Example!

Right-handed hurler Mike Fornieles pitched 11 MLB seasons, and while he did manage to play on one All-Star team as a member of the 1961 Red Sox, he will never be enshrined in Cooperstown, New York. Fortunately for Fornieles, this miraculous PSA 10 GEM MINT 1958 Topps offering merits Hall of Fame cardboard stature via its "POP 1" highest graded standing that places it alone at the top of the prestigious PSA "Pop" Chart! Its "10" assessment is based on the brilliant portrait pose that is encompassed by a flawless baby-blue setting. Atypical for any '58 Topps subject is the remarkable near-perfect centering, with the classic image residing between four snow white borders. Extremely sharp right-angled corners and impeccable/crisp surfaces are additional superlatives supporting the near-impossible grade, with this "POP 1" marvel anxiously awaiting a new home in any esteemed 1958 Topps PSA Registered compilation!

MIN BID $1,000
