1954 Bowman #161 Yogi Berra PSA 9 MINT - Only One PSA Example Graded Higher!
1954 BOWMAN STAND TALL!!! This PSA 9 MINT 1954 Bowman offering of the Hall of Fame catcher has been bested by only a single example! Yogi Berra is arguably one of the greatest catchers of all time, if not the most successful, and is highly noted for his clutch performances on baseball's grandest stage. Berra's World Series records include 14 appearances, ten championships, 75 games played and 71 all-time hits. He won three AL MVP awards and played in a remarkable 15 All-Star Games. One of Berra's most popular images, his good-natured grinning pose jumps off the card with astounding clarity and an abundance of sparkling hues. The finest imaginable centering, razor-sharp right-angled corners, a gleaming and flawless surface, and a super clean verso are the final exclamation points for this museum-worthy masterpiece. To think that Yogi Berra achieved all these feats at only 5' 7" competed individually against the likes of teammate Mickey Mantle, Larry Doby, Ted Williams and Al Kaline, to name a few.
