The offered example is one of only 5 specimens graded SGC 92 NM/MT+ 8.5 with just 2 examples having been deemed marginally superior. Showcasing the wonderful follow-through that made Williams one of the finest all-around hitters the game has ever known, "The Splendid Splinter" is surrounded by a rich orange-red backdrop with toned white borders that bring attention to the nearly perfect centering. Four virtually MINT corners frame this exceptional keepsake that is graced with precise registration of the subject, a characteristic not often associated with the problem-plagued Leaf series. The reverse is a resolute slate that acts as a suitable canvas for the deeply black inked bio. Simply stunning, teetering on the edge of MINT status!
