"Unique for the Grade" 1958 Topps #417 Carl Furillo PSA 10 GEM MINT – "POP 1"; The SOLE Highest Graded Example!
This miraculous PSA 10 GEM MINT 1958 Topps Carl Furillo marvel just happens to be the SOLE example at the pinnacle "10" plateau! Incredibly, of the roughly 700 PSA encapsulated specimens, only this single offering has managed to achieve sheer cardboard perfection, justifying its hallowed standing among the most meticulous hobbyists. Hard-hitting Dodgers right-fielder Carl Furillo played his entire 15-year career with Brooklyn and Los Angeles, posting an outstanding .299 lifetime average while knocking in 1,058 runs. His finest campaign was 1953 when he blasted 21 round-trippers and led the National League with a spectacular .344 batting average. Nicknamed "The Rifle", his cannon-like throwing arm was among MLB's all-time best, and he was part of two Dodger championship teams (1955 & 1959). Likewise, this "POP 1" marvel depicts championship caliber via its unparalleled aesthetics that include a brilliant Furillo swinging pose set against a sun-bright yellow background. Sparkling hues, near-perfect centering, pack-fresh surfaces, snow white borders, and the finest corner tips all support the "one of a kind" assessment that places it as the undisputed finest of its kind!
