Graded MINT 9 by PSA. Only one example grades higher out of 4,823 cards evaluated to date by PSA. Spectacular ultra-high-grade example of condition-sensitive card #1 Jackie Robinson from the popular 1953 Topps set. This example boasts brilliant colors, excellent registration, crisp white borders, and sharp corners. The reverse is perfectly clean. As the first card in the set, the 1953 Topps Jackie Robinson card tended to be at the top of the stack, exposing it to much more wear than other cards. As a result, high-grade examples are far more difficult to find than most 1953 Topps cards and most other Robinson cards. This is a magnificent example of one of Robinson's most popular cards.
