Darlings of the Midwest and National League attendance leaders for each of their first six seasons in Milwaukee, the Braves warranted their popularity with back-to-back pennants in 1957 and 1958. After winning the 1957 Fall Classic against the mighty Yankees, the Braves threatened to repeat the following October, only to squander a three-games-to-one lead. Encapsulated and graded MINT 9 by PSA, this County Stadium full ticket was issued for the 1958 series opener, which saw Warren Spahn log a complete-game 10-inning triumph. The obverse features vibrant colors, printed seating/event details and an appropriately crowned “laughing Brave” logo. Perforations are decidedly strong and the reverse is nearly free of marks. This is an amazing survivor form an era simultaneously marked by a Yankee dynasty and emergence of both Aaron and the Braves. One of 12 at this grading level, with none rated higher!
