The offered showpiece contemporary to the decade that saw Ted Williams firmly establish his greatness is one of only seven examples of its kind Graded MINT 9 by PSA with none graded higher. All attributes of this cardboard treasure appear to have been crafted with special attention to detail especially the masterful translation of the brilliant colors for which Leaf gum cards are famous. This example's red background and blue caption are simply eye-popping and the perfectly focused follow-through likeness of Williams projects wonderfully. The card's corners exhibit pinpoint-sharp character and its edges are impeccable. The item's aesthetics are crisp fresh and simply beautiful on both sides. This phenomenal Williams card has it all; enormous condition rarity marquis player from a key issue and marvelous aesthetic quality. It is worth noting that that population figure of seven MINT 9 examples hasn't changed in more than a decade.
