1932 U.S. Caramel #15 Eugene Tunney PSA 8 NM-MT – Highest Graded Example!
HIGHEST GRADED TUNNEY!!! One of the prestigious boxing subjects from the classic 1932 U.S. Caramel set is the legendary Gene Tunney, presented here in a stunning PSA 8 holder! Joined by a meager five other examples, it resides as the highest graded PSA specimen! Heavyweight boxing champion Gene Tunney will forever be renowned for the legendary 1927 "long count", when challenger Jack Dempsey knocked him down but would not go back to his corner. This delayed the referee in beginning his count, which allowed Tunney extra time to pick himself up off the canvas and retain his heavyweight belt. Likewise, this offering portrays championship caliber via a vast array of original factory-issued qualities, including a stoic portrait image that partly favors the right edge, impeccable surfaces, pinpoint corners, and bright white borders. A bona fide winner, synonymous with Tunney's boxing prowess, it reigns supreme on the PSA Pop Chart!
