The featured high-grade 1952 Topps Sam Jethroe example boasts the coveted "Black Back" variation and shows just a couple loose fibers attached to its top left NM/MT+ corner as well as a few pin-pricks of extraneous print and a self-evident NM/MT centering bias for the south but is in otherwise near perfect condition, with thorough MINT to GEM MINT facets elsewhere. One of just 16 in its unsurpassed NM/MT 8 class from 131 submissions to PSA, compared to 37 PSA 8's from well over 300 submissions of the regular "Red Back" variety. Brand new to the hobby, and another sure contender for exalted status as the finest extant!
