1952 Topps #333 Pee Wee Reese PSA 7 NM
CAPTAIN PEE WEE!!!... This PSA 7 NM 1952 Topps Pee Wee Reese offering truly stands as one of the most coveted of all the '52 high-number subjects. The heart and soul of the annual pennant winning Brooklyn club was their beloved HOF shortstop and captain, Pee Wee Reese, who gracefully spearheaded that Dodger machine. Reese earned the "Captain" nod via his unparalleled leadership qualities, receiving the iconic "Pee Wee" nickname by being a superior young marbles player ("Pee Wee" was a type of marble), and ultimately leading Brooklyn to seven pennants as well as their inaugural 1955 championship. Reese's classic portrait image is one of his most revered poses, boasting brilliant hues, relatively clean surfaces, and a fine perimeter, with the illustration favoring the right edge. A bona fide "keeper", it proudly resides as one of Pee Wee's most sought-after cardboard subjects!
