In addition to being generally scarce and subject to condition issues the 1954 Wilson Franks set was subject to poor quality control resulting in significantly off-centered cards. Such is the case with this beautiful card of outfielder Johnny Groth bursting with vivid yellow color but receiving a grade of VG 3 due in part to the centering and in part to the wrinkle across the front of the card. Groth an astute man stands poised with his club ready to attack the flying pack of hot dogs headed straight for him.* Aside from the aforementioned wrinkle centering and some slight corner wear this is an outstanding example of the card certainly exhibiting more eye appeal than many specimens from this condition-sensitive set.Population DataPSA Population: 60 total graded 9 at this level 32 higherSGC Population: 12 total graded 1 at this level 8 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.
