Additional Notes

One of my few graded cards. Finding vintage higher grades is so tough…this “7” by PSA seems low to me and I don’t see many flaws (maybe slightly faded on back and a small discolouration). Centering on front is a beaut, back a touch off and corners are some of the cleanest I’ve seen. This card had huge eye appeal for me with the close up stance and amazing smile. It always fascinated me how a skinny SS could hit so many bombs-especially in that era. What a player!
