Description
Population three, none superior!
1910 D322 Tip Top Bread Honus Wagner PSA EX 5. While the
issue may not be familiar to the casual collector, the image most
assuredly is. It's an artful reimagining of Carl Horner's
definitive photographic portrait, the same image utilized for the
creation of the short-printed T206 tobacco card which serves as the
hobby's most coveted and valuable cardboard. Though the Tip Top
issue has never achieved the pronounced level of fame that the
industry's leading tobacco set enjoys, it's a strong contender in
considerations of scarcity, aesthetics and historical import.In fact, the offered trading card makes the legendary T206 look common by comparison, as thirty-five of them reside within a PSA capsule while the full population of Tip Top Wagners stands at just thirty-one. It also bears mentioning that there is a NM-MT 8 example of the former, while the offered EX 5 Tip Top finds itself at the tip top of the PSA pop.
It's the regional distribution that accounts for the intense scarcity today (as well, of course, as the passage of eleven decades since production). This set was crafted to celebrate the 1909 World Series Champs for the Pittsburgh market, packaged with loafs of bread for Steeltown sandwich eaters. Fewer than 500 specimens from the entire issue appear in the PSA population, and this is the finest example of its most desirable entry. Typical edge and corner wear account for the grade, leaving the image area clean and beautiful.
