Ultra high-grade cards remain difficult to obtain even in the plentiful sets of the 1950s and this Johnny Podres is no exception. While the term "low pop" is definitely relative as we are presenting you with an auction filled with cards that have just a handful of graded examples in existence a MINT copy of a 1959 card of this Dodgers hero is still a tough get as 391 submissions of Podres cards to PSA have yielded just 13 MINT copies and none higher.And this card is certainly worthy of the grade with sharp corners and the rough-cut edges typical of the period (and also a positive sign of a "natural" cut) and brilliant color. An excellent upgrade to a high-grade "59 set a fantastic addition of a key card to a Dodgers collector or simply a beautiful example of a New York sports hero from baseball"s golden age.Population data:PSA Population: 391 total graded 13 at this level none higherSGC Population: 27 total graded 1 at this level none higher
