Graded MINT 9 by PSA. No examples graded higher out of 1,131 cards evaluated to date. Outstanding ultra-high-grade example of #242 Ernie Banks from the 1955 Bowman set. This card features the second-year Chicago Cubs star in a batting follow-through pose. Extremely sharp high-grade example from this condition-sensitive set with virtually flawless dark-colored borders and four sharp corners. Superb centering, brilliant colors and gloss, outstanding registration, and clean reverse. Pedigreed from the Mr. Cub Collection, this card would be a superb addition to any high-grade 1955 Bowman, Ernie Banks, or Hall of Fame card collection. Reserve $2,500.
