This is handsome example of one of the most condition-sensitive Topps issues from its inaugural effort in 1951 in producing a variety of baseball card issues as precursors to their iconic 1952 set the following year. At 2 1/16-by-5 ¼ inches, the issue combined its elongated dimensions with the die-cut configuration designed to yield a standing figure as elements that added to condition woes, making a completely intact example like this one all the more appealing. The Major League All-Stars issue virtually matches the design and configuration of the Connie Mack’s All-Time All-Stars from the same year. Hall of Famer Phil Rizzuto is featured here in a PSA 4 example, boasting nice centering and perforations seemingly never trifled with and an uncommonly vivid red background without any whisper of difficulties. With a sterling PSA 4 pedigree, the Population Report notes only six examples above this grade of only 15 Rizzuto's slabbed.
