Presented is a PSA Authentic example 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. This particular example of Hall of Famer Ralph Kiner is presented in a PSA Authentic slab, reflecting a tiny corner missing in the lower right and glue residue on the reverse. That said, the card presents handsomely, boasting perforations seemingly never trifled with and a vivid red background jostled only by some minor creasing and off-center top to bottom.
