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 #554, Hank Fischer, graded MINT 9.
Absolutely gorgeous colors on this card, featuring one of the most vibrant uniforms of the day. Great corners and edges, with nearly perfect centering. Minor registration issues with the blue bottom border and orange circle inset keep this card 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.
