Postwar Baseball - 1950s Cards

Graded NM/MT+ 8.5 by SGC. Superb high-grade example of Hall of Famer Ernie Banks' second-year card from the 1955 Topps set. This is regarded by many as one of Banks' best cards, both because it is one of his earliest, as well as one of his most striking, picturing the Chicago Cubs legend in his familiar shortstop fielding pose alongside an ideal portrait image. The offered example is particularly bright and crisp with striking bold colors, flawless registration, four sharp corners, and near-perfect centering. Entirely clean, both front and back, with a flawless surface. This is a spectacular high-grade example which would be a worthy addition to any 1955 Topps, Ernie Banks, or Hall of Fame card collection. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000+.
