1933 Sport Kings #42 Carl Hubbell PSA 8 NM-MT
THE MEAL TICKET!!! Tantamount with this amazing PSA 8 NM-MT Carl Hubbell Sport Kings is King Carl's most incredible accomplishment when, in the 1934 All-Star game, he fanned Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons and Joe Cronin in succession. Hall of Famer "King" Carl Hubbell is one of the greatest southpaws to ever toe the rubber, with the screwball artist amassing 253 victories over his spectacular 16-year career with the New York Giants. The Meal Ticket is the only pitcher to ever capture two MVP awards during a peacetime period and still owns the MLB record of winning 24 consecutive games over two seasons. This outstanding PSA 8 offering has only been bested by a meager eight examples, with its major highlights being the vibrant half-bust image, a brilliant baby blue background, pinpoint corners, impeccable surfaces, and the rarely seen near-perfect centering!
