Collection of nineteen cards, issued by Bowman and Topps, of New York Yankees Hall of Famer Yogi Berra spanning the years 1948 to 1967. Each card is graded and encapsulated by PSA (12), SGC (6), or BVG (1). This collection consists of the following: 1) 1948 Bowman #6 Yogi Berra RC (SGC EX 60). 2) 1949 Bowman #60 Berra (PSA EX-MT 6). 3) 1950 Bowman #46 Berra (SGC EX/NM 80). 4) 1952 Topps #191 Berra (SGC GOOD+ 2.5). 5) 1953 Bowman Color #44 Bauer/Berra/Mantle (PSA VG-EX 4). 6) 1953 Topps #104 Berra (PSA EX-MT 6). 7) 1954 Topps #50 Berra (SGC EX 60). 8) 1955 Bowman #168 Berra (PSA NM 7). 9) 1955 Topps #198 Berra (SGC NM 84). 10) 1956 Topps #110 Berra (gray back, PSA NM 7). 11) 1957 Topps #2 Berra (PSA EX 5). 12) 1959 Topps #180 Berra (PSA EX-MT 6). 13) 1960 Topps #480 Berra (PSA EX-MT 6). 14) 1961 Topps #425 Berra (PSA EX-MT+ 6.5). 15) 1961 Topps #472 Berra MVP (PSA EX-MT 6). 16) 1962 Topps #360 Berra (SGC EX+ 5.5). 17) 1963 Topps #340 Berra (PSA EX-MT 6). 18) 1964 Topps #21 Berra (BVG EX-MT+ 6.5). 19) 1965 Topps #470 Berra (PSA NM 7). This is a high-quality selection of Berra cards of special note due to condition (and excellent collecting value), with each in technically less than NM-MT condition, but sharing most of the qualities of higher-grade examples. The total SMR value for the assigned grades (excluding the two cards graded less than EX and factoring the half-grades at the lower whole grade level) is $2,315. Total: 19 cards. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000+.
