Lot # 1312: 1959 Home Run Derby Harmon Killebrew PSA EX-MT 6

Graded EX-MT 6 by PSA. Only three examples have been graded higher by PSA to date. Beautiful example of Washington Senators Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew from the 1959 Home Run Derby set. This 20-card set was issued to promote the popular Home Run Derby television series, which was broadcast weekly and pitted power hitters against each other in a made-for-television home run hitting contest. Each of the players featured on these black-and-white cards, which measure 3.25 x 5.25 inches, was a contestant in at least one of the televised contests. High-grade singles are very rarely offered, and examples are highly desirable among player and set collectors alike. Bright and crisp with light corner wear, and outstanding centering. The reverse is clean. This is an extremely attractive example worthy of the finest 1959 Home Run Derby set, Harmon Killebrew, or Hall of Fame collection.
