(LOT 97)
1956 Topps #240 Whitey Ford PSA 9 MINT - Highest PSA Example!

WHITEY BLAZER!!! The Chairman of the Board will forever be regarded as one of baseball's greatest post-season pitchers, still holding records for most World Series victories (10) and consecutive scoreless innings (33), with the latter eclipsing Ruth's previous 29-2/3 mark. Likewise, this PSA 9 MINT 1956 Topps subject owns bragging rights as one of the finest of its kind, with not a single existing PSA 10! This cardboard charmer boasts two awe-inspiring Ford poses affixed to a classic baseball field setting. Rich hues, sparkling surfaces, fine edging eluding typical rough factory cuts, and near-impossible-to-find virtually spot-on centering all combine to substantiate the world-class assessment. Tantamount to Whitey Ford's unwavering legacy as a bona fide winner via his miraculous .690 lifetime winning percentage comes this best of the best masterpiece, equally residing as a true cardboard winner!

MIN BID $1,500
