1951 Bowman #31 Roy Campanella PSA 8.5 NM-MT+
PSA 8.5 CAMPANELLA!!! Campanella was, without question, the most dominant catcher of his generation. The three-time MVP handled pitchers with ease and helped turn often-mediocre hurlers into stars. Over only ten seasons in the Majors, all with the Brooklyn Dodgers, Roy batted .276 with 260 home runs and 1,019 RBIs. For his career, he was by far the best catcher, posting a .987 fielding percentage and a still record-high 57% caught stealing mark, gunning down 252 would-be thieves. This stunning 1951 Bowman #31 Roy Campanella PSA 8.5 NM-MT+ is amazing in every way. Near-perfect centering, magnificent color and imagery, and sharp corners and borders. This one is clean and clear. Don't get caught missing this one, as this Campanella is one of only four 8.5 NM-MT+ with only seven graded higher. Extraordinary!
