1989 Premier Series #1 — Ken Ridgeway
$540
Asking
PSA10Pop 1,880, none graded higher
A gem-mint card-number-one rookie for well under four figures. The first slab a lot of collectors buy, and the one that usually gets kept.
Photographed in our own light, unedited beyond cropping. Ask for raw angled shots of any corner or the reverse and we will send them the same day.
The honest description
Yellow borders punish every handling mark a card has ever taken, which is why this set grades so poorly overall. This one is clean across all four.
Dead-on centering front and back, no print snow in the sky, and the blue nameplate is unbroken.
The reverse has the light toning normal for the issue and no writing of any kind.

$8,450
Asking
SGC7Pop 44, with 29 graded higher
A genuinely bright 1954 rookie. Full original gloss on the red border, four sharp corners, and none of the dull grey cast that sinks most survivors of this set.
