Spectacular example of one of the hobby's most popular postwar cards graded NM 84 by SGC. Wonderful color and print quality are evident with a slight T-B centering issue consistent with many 1950s Topps horizontal cards. NM corners and a slightly rough-cut top edge are outstanding indicators of a "natural" cut. As the prices of high-grade Clemente rookie cards continue to dominate discussion throughout the hobby the NM cards unquestionably continue to rise into the stratosphere as collectors look for an "affordable" way to acquire the finest possible specimens. Often reaching into the five figures this is one of the most important Hall of Fame rookie cards of its era finally taking its rightful place alongside the rookie cards of Hank Aaron and Willie Mays. An outstanding example.
