The yellow and green coloring of the 1964 Topps Stand-Up series makes it nearly impossible to find high-grade specimens for two reasons; the ease of chipping around the perimeter and the likelihood of stray print on the brilliant yellow backdrop. The presented card has neither, which is why it is a rare specimen matched by just a dozen others with none graded higher. The centering is superb and the deep color of the central image is exquisite. It's almost unfathomable that a card with such vulnerability can exist in pristine condition, and this one even pushes the limits for GEM MINT status!
