(LOT 825)
1939 Play Ball #92 Ted Williams Rookie PSA 5 EX

TEDDY BALLGAME ROOKIE!!! As one of the hobby's most significant rookie cards, this Ted Williams 1939 Play Ball card is well deserving of its EX grade. Most baseball historians agree that The Kid IS the greatest hitter of all-time, substantiated by his .344 lifetime average, 521 home runs, nearly 2,000 RBIs and the 2nd highest slugging percentage ever, behind only Babe Ruth. The last baseball player to hit .400 or better when he achieved a .406 average in his famous 1941 season. A brilliant black & white batting pose as Ted completes his immortal swing, depicting clarity and contrast. Bright-white borders frame the image that like many of these subjects, exhibits a slightly skewed image.

MIN BID $2,500
