1952 Red Man Tobacco #1 Casey Stengel w/Tab PSA 8 NM-MT – ONLY One PSA Example Graded Higher!
CASEY RED-MAN!!!... One of the two #1 subjects along with Leo Durocher in the classic 1952 Red Man Tobacco 52-card set, this PSA 8 NM-MT Casey Stengel with Tab offering resides as one of only four such examples, bested by a mere sole specimen on the PSA Pop Chart! Synonymous with this offering's extremely high-standing is Hall of Famer Stengel's championship caliber as both a player and manager. The legendary Casey claimed a whopping nine world championships, two with the NY Giants as their formidable right-fielder in 1921 & '22, and seven as the Yankees field general including a record five consecutive titles from 1949-1953. He was well respected and admired by virtually all his peers, and will forever be famous for his non-stop, rambling speeches called "Stengelese". His portrait representation on this pack-fresh marvel is outstanding to say the least, proudly boasting rich facial hues, a classic Yankees pinstripes uniform and cap, and flawless aqua-green setting. Pinpoint corners and near-impeccable surfaces are the final compliments for one of Stengel's most picturesque cards!
