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 #244, Johnny Tsitouris, graded MINT 9. Vivid colors are almost as bright as the Cincinnati pitcher's smile on this entry to the 1963 set. Sharp corners and strong edges. Centering is just slightly east on the canvas. A little snow on the image, with only a slight registration error of the red bottom border.
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.
