Bright, crisp, and clean, with four razor-sharp corners, centering slightly left, and flawless image quality. The reverse is perfectly clean and well centered. This card would be at home in any world-class Hall of Fame or rookie-card collection and would be a significant upgrade to any high-grade set. This is a spectacular ultra-high-grade example of one of modern card collecting's great classics. Reserve $5,000.
