Spectacular higher-grade card from one of the most important and highly sought-after 1950s regional issues this card of Orioles third sacker Vern Stephens has been graded EX-MT 6 by PSA. With less-than-perfect L-R centering the card is still extremely attractive largely because the white background makes the centering seem less of an issue. Corners are reasonably sharp with touches on the upper and lower left and surface wear is very light. Stephens pictured here in a poor attempt to catch a flying pack of hot dogs was one of the better-hitting shortstops of his era sporting a .286 lifetime batting average with 247 home runs.Population DataPSA Population: 78 total graded 7 at this level 8 higherSGC Population: 19 total graded 2 at this level 2 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.
