This PSA PR 1 shows great balance for something in low grade, with a strong central image and excellent centering. It's possible that one side was trimmed to even out this scarce single, likely its bottom edge, holding down its maximum grade. The unique central image is otherwise clear and appealing, showing us a guy (as James Murphy) with a single known pro season. Set scarcity should drive overall demand, as the population report shows just three known for Murphy, with its highest being GOOD 2!

First identified in the hobby less than 20 years ago, this beautiful team set features a number of players from the (minor league) 1921 Baltimore Orioles. It's been dubbed their White's Tip Top Bread set, given an association with that business and bread name. PSA grades these rare cards as "1921 Baltimore Orioles" and "Tip Top." Just 42 total PSA-graded examples are known, with four offered in this auction! Incredibly rare chance for type collectors and other advanced hobbyists to add something special.
