1933 Goudey #234 Carl Hubbell PSA 8 NM-MT
THE MEAL TICKET!!! Hall of Famer "King" Carl Hubbell is one of the greatest southpaws to ever toe the rubber, with the screwball artist amassing 253 victories over his spectacular 16-year career with the New York Giants. The Meal Ticket is the only pitcher to ever capture two MVP awards during a peacetime period (Hal Newhouser won two MVPs during WWII), and still owns the MLB record of winning 24 consecutive games over two seasons. Owner of five consecutive 20-win seasons from 1933 through 1937, one of his most prized cardboard issues is the 1933 Goudey #234 subject offered here in a scintillating PSA 8 holder, bested by only six PSA specimens. King Carl's classic half-bust pose is well projected via the flawless blood-orange setting, with the hallowed image miraculously exhibiting near-perfect centering. Pack-fresh surfaces, square corners, and bright white borders are the final exclamation points for one of Hubbell's finest preserved Goudey gum cards!
