Graded GEM MT 10 by PSA, the only example at its tier. (In fact, this is the only 1952 Num Num card of any player, in any configuration, to achieve PSA's highest condition assessment.) Members of the Cleveland Indians baseball club were the subjects of the 1952 Num Num Potato Chips card production. The very scarce, regionally issued "Num Num" cards depict such Indians luminaries as Early Wynn, Bob Feller, Larry Doby, Al Lopez and – on the offered entry – 1953 A.L. MVP Al Rosen. The card is presented without its original prize redemption tab segment. (Tabs were designed to be severed from the bottom portion of the card, enabling consumers to obtain an autographed baseball of a favorite player in exchange for a complete group of 20 different tabs.) This Al Rosen specimen is fundamentally flawless. As expected, the singular collectible delivers outstanding print quality and exhibits apparently never-touched corners and surfaces. A rare, visually stunning piece, in Gem Mint condition.
