Graded NM/MT 8 by PSA. "It was wonderful to watch him pitch when he wasn’t pitching against you."
-- Connie Mack The PSA "Pop Report" states that a mere 8 examples of this card have been graded higher than the offered example. Viewing the offered treasure is a captivating thrill to any enthusiast as it seemingly catches all of baseball's lure upon its gentile palette. Four pinpoint corners that belie the opined grade with their freshness, as well as a perfectly registered image of the "Christian Gentleman". The bold fire engine red that surrounds the portrait of the great pitcher seems magnificently electric and full of zeal. The flesh tones in Matty's face give depth to the featured collectible that transcend the average pasteboard. The centering while more than meeting of the standards for the grade shows an ever so faint preference for the left edge. The creamy opaque white stock of the reverse offers a generous field for the bright bold deeply black inked biography to rest upon. In conclusion, a stunning picturesque presentation of this wonderfully fragile card presented in amazing high end NM/MT condition with many attributes of a much higher graded card.
