Graded MINT 9 by PSA. Hall of Famer, in his Rookie Card appearance. Among a total of nearly 1,900 copies recorded in PSA’s census reporting, just one, lone example has been placed at a higher tier. Even though most younger fans associate Yogi Berra with his many malapropisms, older collectors remember Yogi as the best catcher of all time, and a man who possessed a myriad supply of baseball "intangibles." Yogi was a winner, both individually and as a part of his team, with his three League MVPs and 10 World Championships being impossible to ignore. Yogi became his the New York Yankees starting catcher in 1948, the year this collectible was produced. He hit a respectable .305, and from that point on, he never looked back. The offered card pictures a very young Berra in a classic batting pose. The piece reflects virtually no hint of past handling, and it retains superb, apparently fresh-from-the-presses eye appeal. Centering, corners and image clarity all present with superior comportment. Supreme Mint condition.
