Graded EX 5 by PSA. This is the ONLY example graded at this level and the highest graded of all D381s ever graded by PSA! Among the 233 examples from this set graded by SGC, only three cards (of any player) have achieved a comparable grade (SGC EX 60), with none grading higher. Extremely scarce and exceptionally high-grade sample card featuring Fred Anderson of the New York Giants from the 1916 D381 Fleischmann Bakery series. Because these large cards (2-3/8 x 4-7/8 inches) are printed on thin stock, they are very susceptible to minor faults, especially creases. This is a stunning card! Bright and clean, both front and back, with no creases, flawless picture quality, and light wear to the corners. The coupon on the bottom has been neatly cut away, as intended, to be redeemed for a prize (an album to store the cards). This is an extremely attractive high-grade sample card from one of the rarest and most condition-sensitive prewar bakery-card issues. Reserve $200. Estimate (open).
