Graded EX 5 by PSA. Condition-sensitive #1 card featuring Hall of Fame pitcher Whitey Ford from the popular 1951 Bowman issue. Besides being the number-one card in the set, this card also represents Ford's rookie card. This is an excellent midgrade example with outstanding registration, brilliant colors, light wear at the corners, and near-perfect centering. The reverse is clean, with no gum or wax stains, as are often found on 1951 Bowmans. This is an attractive midgrade example of Ford's most sought-after card. Reserve $200. Estimate (open).
