1932 U.S. Caramel #1 Eddie Collins PSA 7.5 NM+ - POP 2
COLLINS CANDY CARD!!! One of the most popular 1932 U.S. Caramel subjects is legendary Hall of Famer second sacker Eddie Collins, offered here in a spectacular PSA 7.5 NM+ holder with only a single other example at this hallowed tier! Along with Hornsby and Lajoie, baseball experts agree that Eddie Collins resides as one of the top three second basemen in baseball history, with his 3,315 hits and .331 lifetime average justifying that notion. This remarkable offering depicts an incredible fire engine red background supporting his portrait image. Atypical for any 1932 U.S. Caramel subject are the bright borders, ultra-clean surfaces, excellent centering and sharp corners that are attributes supporting the scarce Near-Mint+ assessment. Only some modest toning on the verso prevents this card from achieving a higher grade, yet via its astonishing illustration, any enthusiast would gladly welcome this 91-year-old keepsake into their prized collection!
