Important offering is recognized as the only rookie card of legendary slugger Ted Williams. This is a 1939 Play Ball card, slabbed by SGC and graded GD+ 2.5, though it presents beautifully. The Splendid Splinter is depicted at the end of his splendid swing, which accounted for 521 home runs and a .344 career batting average in a Hall of Fame career, despite missing three years in his prime for military service during World War II.
