Lot # 3347: 1969 N.Y. Boy Scouts Tom Seaver SGC NM 7

Graded NM 7 by SGC. Presented is an exceptional high-grade example of Hall of Famer Tom Seaver from the scarce 1969 N. Y. Boy Scouts issue. Seaver is the key card and the only Hall of Famer in the set. This set, which was produced by the Boy Scouts as a recruitment tool, rewarded members who encouraged their friends to join the Boy Scouts. The reverse reads "By bringing a new boy into Scouting, you have joined the GO team for 1969. Congratulations!" The facsimile signature of the council commissioner is underneath. These cards, which feature hometown New York Mets and Yankees heroes, were regionally issued and are extremely rare. Only 73 examples in total have been graded from this set by PSA and SGC combined. According to the Standard Catalog, nine different players in the set are known to date (though others might yet be discovered). The offered example is bright, crisp, and clean, both front and back, with strong corners, and a bold image. This is an ideal type card for any Hall of Fame, Tom Seaver, or advanced postwar-card collection!
