Graded MINT 9 by PSA. Only ten examples graded at this level with only one higher out of 3,417 cards evaluated to date by PSA. Condition-sensitive #250 card in extraordinarily high grade featuring Hall of Famer Ted Williams, from the classic 1954 Topps issue. This is one of Williams' most popular cards and one of the key cards to the 1954 Topps set. The card displays four razor-sharp corners, perfect registration, brilliant colors, and centering to the left. Clean reverse centered to the bottom right (when held horizontally as intended). As the last card in the set, the 1954 Topps #250 Ted Williams card tended to gravitate to the bottom of the stack, exposing it to much more wear than other cards, and thus making high-grade examples far more difficult to find than most 1954 Topps cards and most other Williams' cards. An exceptionally attractive ultra high-grade example of one of Ted Williams' most classic cards. Reserve $5,000. Estimate $10,000+.
