Here's a Hall of Fame 1952 Topps Master Set Registry worthy example of Red Sock immortal, Johnny Pesky, showcasing the coveted "Black Back" variation and graded PSA 8 NM/MT. PSA has been differentiating 1952 Topps "Black Backs" for years now, and the votes are in: the offered high-grade prize is one of just 9 examples in its class with 3 graded higher from 115 on record, compared to 30 examples of the regular or "Red Back" variation in the NM/MT 8 class from 225 on record. MINT corners at all points but the NM/MT top right join nearly impeccable MINT or better edges around a predominantly clean NM/MT+ obverse with NM/MT to maybe NM/MT+ centering. Extremely rare in high-grade!
