(LOT 820)
1952 Bowman #2 Bobby Thomson PSA 10 GEM MINT

POP 2!!! Thomson's immortal round-tripper against heartbroken reliever Ralph Branca is still considered by many historians as the most celebrated home run in baseball history, and has forever elevated Thomson's status in baseball folklore. That is why collectors seek his most prestigious cardboard mementos, with few more elusive than this extremely "rare for the grade" PSA Gem Mint 10 1952 Bowman #2 subject offering that has only been joined by a single other PSA 10 as the finest example extant!

Every possible technical attribute supports the "perfect" assessment including his classic batting stance pose; sparkling hues; blinding white borders; razor-sharp corner tips; immaculate surfaces and virtually dead-on 50/50 centering. The only visible "imperfection" is a microscopic tilt towards the lower right corner, rendered nearly negligible considering the card's pristine aesthetics. The most elite PSA Set Registry enthusiasts should line up for this Bobby Thomson masterpiece, synonymous with sheer reverence associated with his iconic "shot heard around the world", joins only a sole other example as the premier specimen on the planet!
