Spectacular card of Tigers shortstop and 1980s Brewers manager Harvey Kuenn graded EX+ 5.5 by PSA. The card features an exquisite design featuring Kuenn in his blue(ish) Tigers uniform set against a blue background. The typeface on the card is also blue creating a very attractive palette for a card issue known for its aesthetics. About the only thing in the card design that is not blue is the flying pack of hot dogs about to cream the unwitting shortstop who is clearly not ready to catch it in his unprepared glove.The card itself is fairly well-centered for the issue with moderate surface dirt consistent with being packaged inside a pack of hot dogs. Corners are reasonably square for the grade. A strong example of a difficult card issue.Population DataPSA Population: 61 total graded 1 at this level 9 higherSGC Population: 13 total graded 0 at this level 0 higher *All flying pack of hot dog jokes are made in honor of our good friend collector and hobby writer Chris Stufflestreet. Chris was a friend to many of us in the hobby and passed away tragically last year at a young age. Thanks to Chris we will never think of Wilson Franks cards the same way again.
