1958 Topps #1 Ted Williams PSA 8 NM-MT
TEDDY BALLGAME BLAZER!!! Similar to 1954 and 1957, Topps chose baseball's greatest all-time hitter, Ted Williams, as their number one subject for their prestigious 1958 compilation. Indeed, the Splendid Splinter's arguable stature as our National Pastime's finest batter and his heroic stints in two World Wars have earned him iconic stature second to none. Teddy Ballgame captivated a country and stands as the true embodiment of an American hero, with this majestic PSA 8 NM-MT 1958 Topps #1 offering only bested by 11 PSA examples and extremely well preserved over the past 65 years. It's no secret that finding a pre-1960 #1 subject boasting pack-fresh qualities is an excruciating task, with a set's first card typically placed on top of the stack in checklist number order, making it susceptible to severe surface damage. This breathtaking keepsake somehow provides the technical attributes consistent with a card just pulled from a 1958 wax pack, meriting the highest hobby accolades compared to many of its inferior peers!
