1958 Topps #185 Ray Boone PSA 10 GEM MINT – "POP 2"; Highest Graded PSA Example!
Slick-fielding shortstop/third baseman Ray Boone played 13 MLB seasons, with the formidable batsman twice exceeding the exalted .300 mark (1950 & 1956). While Boone will never be enshrined in Cooperstown, NY, his PSA 10 GEM MINT 1958 Topps subject certainly merits Hall of Fame cardboard stature. One of only two specimens fortunate enough to carry the exalted PSA 10 assessment, its hallowed grade has bested nearly all of the 380+ PSA encapsulated copies. Its immaculate eye pleasing attributes include a sparkling portrait pose that presents itself in virtual 3D fashion via the robust red background. Near-perfect centering between four blinding white borders, brilliant hues, crisp surfaces, and right-angled corners that could draw blood complete this timeless marvel that has rightfully earned the perfect PSA assessment!
