(LOT 98)
1957 Topps #2 Yogi Berra PSA 9 MINT - Highest PSA Example!

HIGHEST GRADED YOGI!!! Finding a PSA 9 MINT 1957 Topps #2 Yogi Berra subject is no simple task, justified by a fractional 0.5% (18) of the 3,300 PSA encapsulated copies boasting this pinnacle assessment! Indeed, not a single example handled by the meticulous PSA graders has managed to achieve the perfect 10 grade. The best of the best, this absolutely remarkable offering borders on sheer perfection, starting with the virtually impossible-to-find dead-on 50/50 centering with zero tilt. It's no secret amongst sophisticated collectors that most 1957 Topps cards are seriously plagued by unsightly image positioning and/or tilts. Miraculously, this seemingly one-of-a-kind marvel reveals pristine aesthetics, with its classic Berra portrait pose, aforementioned spot-on centering, vibrant hues, bright white borders, sharp corners, and immaculate-like surfaces all substantiating the notion it just might have merited the sole '57 Topps PSA 10 for this immortal Hall of Famer!

MIN BID $1,500
