Presented is the actual original artwork used to produce card #433 of Phillies pitcher Pancho Herrera from the 1958 Topps set. Herrera is an extremely important card in the 1958 Topps set. Because of a printing error, this card is known to exist with and without the "a" in "Herrera." The extremely rare without the "a" printing error card is extremely well known as one of the rarest of all Topps error cards and lists as the most valuable card in the 1958 Topps set. This is an impressive artwork with very meticulous detail involved in the painting of the pinstripes. Purchased at the famous 1989 Topps/Guerneys auction, this original flexichrome artwork has not seen the light of day since, and has been consigned to this auction directly from the original purchaser. This is an outstanding 1958 Topps baseball card artwork with a fascinating and unique significance to collectors. The artwork is accompanied by an example of the standard issued card. In Near Mint condition. Reserve $300. Estimate $500/$1,000. SOLD FOR $522.00
