(LOT 88)
1955 Topps #198 Yogi Berra PSA 9 MINT - Highest PSA Example!

BERRA'S FINEST!!! The greatest Yankee backstop in their glorious history is Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra who, along with the legendary Johnny Bench, was one of the two catchers voted onto the All-Century Team's 25-player roster in that historic 1999 vote. Likewise, this remarkable PSA 9 MINT 1955 Topps #198 Berra keepsake merits Cooperstown-worthy cardboard stature due to it joining a mere eleven other examples as the pinnacle PSA graded subject! Incredibly, of the 2,400+ encapsulated copies, not a single specimen has managed to achieve the sanctified 10 assessment.

It simply doesn't get any better than this sensational offering that presents TWO classic Berra images flanked by a bright yellow background, boasting near-perfect positioning between four blinding white borders. The term "pack-fresh" may actually be an understatement, for factory-issued cards can easily present themselves with skewed images. The gleaming obverse side is impeccable, complimented by a blisteringly sharp perimeter, right-angled corners and a super-clean verso. Our final suggestion is that while bidding for this regal memento, we highly encourage you to keep in mind one of Berra's historic Yogisms: "It ain't over till it's over!"

MIN BID $4,000
