1953 Topps #1 Jackie Robinson PSA 8 NM-MT
JACKIE #1 MARVEL!!! Presented here is a breathtaking PSA Mint 8 1953 Topps #1 Jackie Robinson that has only been bested by eleven of the nearly 3,900 PSA encapsulated examples! Due to their noted condition sensitivity, any 1953 Topps subject depicting an 8 NM-MT assessment is worthy of the highest hobby accolades, let alone the #1 subject representing one of our national pastime's most iconic figures. Legendary HOF second-sacker Jackie Robinson may not be the greatest statistical player ever. Jackie's accolades include a 1949 MVP Award, leading the Dodgers to six pennants and a 1955 World Championship, stealing bases, hitting for average and power, and being as fiery a competitor the game has ever seen. The somewhat well-centered image does reveal a mild partiality towards the lower right edges between blinding white borders, and the immaculate surfaces and pinpoint corners steal the show. Along with Jackie's rookie-era cards and '52 Topps subject, his 1953 Topps #1 keepsake truly resides as one of his exalted collectibles. This extraordinary pack-fresh masterpiece, truly residies as one of his most celebrated and finest preserved cardboard treasures!
