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 #186, Jerry Zimmerman, graded MINT 9. Great corners and edges, with perfect centering give this card of the Twins catcher terrific eye appeal. Only a slight registration issue with the red bottom border and yellow inset circle keep this card from grading at a 10.
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.
