1953 Topps #258 Jim Gilliam Rookie PSA 8 NM-MT
PACK-FRESH GILLIAM!!! PSA has encapsulated 950+ 1953 Topps #258 Jim Gilliam subjects, with a paltry seven examples managing to surpass the hallowed PSA 8 grade for this outstanding Gilliam offering. Finding high-grade 1953 Topps cards is a painstaking task, with many of the subjects revealing lower border surface flaking within the colored text box and skewed images. This particular example of the standout Brooklyn infielder is sensational, to say the least, depicting near-perfect centering and an imposing lithographic portrait pose of the popular Dodger who played 14 seasons in Brooklyn and Los Angeles. Immaculate surfaces, the finest possible resolution, and three razor-sharp corners (the lower right corner exhibits the slightest touching to the black surface) are additional superlatives supporting the scarce assessment, with PSA Registry collectors salivating over the possible ownership of this pack-fresh dandy!
