Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Hall of Famer, on a condition-sensitive "First Card in Set" appearance. Among more than 3,600 copies recorded in PSA's census reporting, just twenty-four examples have been placed at a higher, unqualified tier. How better to begin a new season's first series of cards – a release that would soon become cherished as one of the hobby's most alluring and colorful sets – than with Ted Williams? This is the flagship collectible from its beloved production, viewed here at a level of condition that's near the pinnacle attainable in its type. The offered Williams card is a worthy starting point for any high-grade 1957 set. The item's print quality, color and focus are above reproach, and all four corners are square and culminate in well-defined points. Near Mint to Mint condition.
