1951 Bowman #306 Jimmy Piersall Rookie PSA 9 MINT – Highest PSA Example!
MINT PIERSALL ROOKIE!!! For 17 Major League seasons in five different cities, Jimmy Piersall defended center field from fly balls, popups, bloops, liners, moonshots and taters, among others. Piersall's .990 career fielding percentage places him among the best ever and ahead of Doby, Snider, Mantle, Mays and DiMaggio. Jimmy was a two-time All-Star, the 1961 Gold Glove winner and was voted into the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame. This 1951 Bowman #306 Jimmy Piersall rookie card offering is worthy of any cardboard Hall of Fame with its PSA 9 MINT assessment joining a meager four other examples as the finest of its kind! Justified by the pack-fresh aesthetics including a virtually immaculate portrait/bust image displaying Piersall in his classic Red Sox home flannels. Near-perfect centering, bright white borders, a razor-sharp perimeter including four blisteringly sharp corner tips, edges, and brilliant surfaces complete this timeless gem. This inaugural Piersall in its highest graded stature immediately elevates it to a world-class level amongst the hobby's elite PSA Set Registry collectors!
