We have made the decision to break up an EXTRAORDINARY 1963 Topps set - the #4 Master Set on the PSA Set Registry. The 1963 set is a particularly difficult set to complete in high grade due to Topps' poor quality control in the era which resulted in considerable print defects. The large and colorful border at the bottom simultaneously lends a distinctive design element and a condition challenge, as they are extremely susceptible to chipping and wear. 

The example offered here is card #211, Fred Whitfield, graded MINT 9. With the gold Topps 1962 All-Star Rookie trophy icon in the bottom right corner, his 1963 card has great corners and edges. Centering is just slightly west on the canvas, with a minor registration issue at the top of the blue bottom border. Extremely faint staining on the card's back keeps it from grading even higher than it already has.

You won't find a nicer example of this card. And that isn't hyperbole. Not a single example ever seen by PSA has received a higher grade than the card offered here.
