Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Hall of Famer, in his first-year trading card appearance. Among nearly 800 copies recorded in PSA’s census reporting, just thirteen examples have been placed at a higher tier. Williams' first Play Ball card pictures the very young Boston outfielder as he will forever be warmly remembered, in a classic batting pose. Offered is a high-grade specimen of the diamond immortal's scarce and sensitive rookie card. This example features clean white borders that frame a flawless black-and-white image, which is in turn noteworthy for its precision of focus. All four corners come to credible points, and the edge cuts are crisp, reflecting virtually no evidence of handling. The item's reverse (posting the great ballplayer's name at the top in upper-case letters) delivers exceptionally bold resolution. Here is a Ted Williams debut card that evinces top quality in every aspect. Near Mint to Mint condition.
