Graded MINT 9 by PSA. Exceptional ultra high-grade example of Stan Musial's rookie card, one of the most important cards of the era and the key card of Bowman's first baseball-card set. Only one example grades higher out of 1,105 cards evaluated to date by PSA. Four sharp corners, a crystal-clear image, and virtually perfect centering. With centering just a few degrees more towards the top, this example would potentially challenge for a place as the second GEM MINT Musial rookie ever graded. Superb high-grade example in extraordinary MINT condition of Hall of Famer Stan Musial's rookie card, which would be a worthy addition to any 1948 Bowman set or Hall of Fame rookie-card collection. The SMR value in the assigned grade is $14,750. Reserve $5,000. Estimate $10,000+. SOLD FOR $32,588
