Graded NGM (Near Gem Mint) 9.5 by KSA. Hall of Famer, in his debut-year appearance. Canada's highly regarded specialty grading service has bestowed an elite assessment upon this absolute jewel of a gum card. (It should be noted that the grading standards followed by KSA may not directly correspond to those employed by BGS, PSA or SGC. The outcome of a cross-over of this superb piece through any of those U.S.-based services, then, would be uncertain.) This example of "The Great One's" physically delicate, Canadian-issue rookie card has amazing, pack-fresh attributes. All four of its corners are pinpoint-sharp, and there is absolutely no chipping or wear on the bright-blue borders. The card's original gloss is bright and unbroken. An exceptional, wholly untouched specimen of a much sought-after Rookie Card, in fundamentally Mint or finer condition.
