Graded 96 MINT 9 by SGC. Hall of Famer. This is one of six examples at its tier (with none graded higher) among a total of fifty-three copies recorded in SGC's census reporting. This exceptionally rare and delicate card depicts "Chief" Bender in a tinted black-and-white photograph set against a blazing red background. "E"-cards from this series, made by an anonymous national producer to accompany candy, are highly sought-after period collectibles that appear on even the most advanced wantlists. The offered piece's overall aesthetic is crisp and attractive. Its obverse presentation is luscious and intense, and its back printing is clear and distinct. A thoroughly satisfying, fundamentally flawless specimen, in Mint condition.
