Graded EX 5 by PSA. Attractive mid-grade example of Ted Williams, the key card from the popular Wilson Franks set. The Wilson Franks set is highly prized by collectors as one of the most attractive and desirable of all 1950s regional issues. In an era dominated by bubble-gum card sets featuring hundreds of players, the distinctive and beautifully designed Wilson Franks, with only 20 cards, each featuring a package of hot dogs in the background, stands out. The Ted Williams card from this set is all the more significant, not just as the key star in the set but as one of the most sought-after of all his cards. This example has bold colors, a crisp image, and light corner wear. Clean reverse. This is a solid example of this extremely popular postwar card.
