Encapsulated and assessed "Authentic" by PSA, one of just seven examples of this depiction recorded in PSA's census reporting. Hall of Famer. Offered is an extraordinary specimen of the most widely pursued and universally coveted subject in the perpetually difficult Briggs Meats release of 1953-54. This blank-backed rarity has been separated as intended from its manufacturer's packaging design – which served as its only means of distribution. The Yankee star's portrait gracing this treasure (actually, the same, pleasing image employed in the time's contemporary Dan-Dee and Stahl-Meyer regional issues) visually reverberates. The item's presentation concedes wear from packaging and proximity to product, as well as subsequent handling. A worthy example of a super-desirable type!
