"Unique for the Grade" 1958 Topps #174 K.C. Athletics Team Checklist PSA 10 GEM MINT – "POP 1"
This extraordinary PSA 10 GEM MINT 1958 Topps #174 Kansas City Athletics Team Checklist has managed to survive as the SOLE perfect "10" on the illustrious PSA population report! Indeed, 325+ additional PSA graded specimens have failed in their attempt to achieve grading superiority, with this one and only "10" retaining bragging rights for years to come. Although the 1958 campaign would see the A's finished a distant 7th in the Junior Circuit via a dismal 73-81-2 record, fortunately this "POP 1" marvel reigns supreme via its breathtaking aesthetics. Pack-fresh to say the least, we cannot detect a single flaw, with the sparkling team image and bold list of players the highlights of a gleaming obverse side surface. Pinpoint corners, and virtually "dead-on" 50/50 centering between four blinding white birders are the final superlatives for this "unique for the grade" offering that truly stands as one of the finest surviving 1958 Topps subjects!
