1958 Topps #182 Joe Caffie PSA 10 GEM MINT – "POP 2"; Highest Graded PSA Example!
This pack-fresh 1958 Topps #182 Joe Caffie PSA 10 GEM MINT offering joins only a single other example as the premier specimen on the PSA Pop Chart! Former heavy-hitting Negro League outfielder Joe Caffie played in only two MLB seasons with the Indians, with his 1956 and 1957 campaigns resulting in a mere 139 plate appearances and a superb .291 batting average. Even though officially retired, the Topps Chewing Gum Co. ultimately decided to issue this Caffie #180 subject in 1958, paving the way for this pristine offering. Caffie's well-centered portrait image is breathtaking to say the least, only revealing the slightest partiality towards the upper edge between four dazzling white borders. A radiant-yellow background, razor-sharp corners and immaculate surfaces are the final compliments for this exalted PSA 10 that has miraculously withstood the test of time!
