1934 Goudey #13 Frank Frisch PSA 8.5 - The Fordham Flash at the Top of the Population Report

Few figures in baseball history commanded the respect of Frankie Frisch, the fiery second baseman whose brilliance helped shape two of the National League’s greatest franchises. Nicknamed “The Fordham Flash” for his remarkable speed and athleticism, Frisch was already a baseball legend by the time his 1934 Goudey #13 was issued. Serving as both player and manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, he was the driving force behind the unforgettable 1934 Gashouse Gang, a club whose relentless style of play carried it all the way to a World Series championship.

Graded an extraordinary PSA NM-MT+ 8.5, this example occupies the very pinnacle of the PSA population report. With just two examples graded PSA 8.5 and none graded higher, it stands tied for the finest PSA-graded example in existence. The combination of its exceptional grade, remarkable population standing, and Goudey’s celebrated 1934 artwork makes this an especially significant offering. For collectors pursuing the finest examples of this iconic prewar issue, the opportunity to acquire a POP 2, none higher Hall of Famer is a distinction that speaks for itself.

Frisch’s accomplishments were nothing short of extraordinary. A three-time All-Star and the 1931 National League MVP, he amassed 2,880 career hits, a .316 lifetime batting average, and four World Series championships as a player. His leadership reached its defining moment in 1934, when he guided the Cardinals past the Detroit Tigers in a dramatic seven-game World Series, capturing the championship as both their manager and starting second baseman. Inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1947, Frisch remains one of the greatest second basemen the game has ever known. The 1934 Goudey #13 Frank Frisch PSA 8.5 brings together a legendary player, a championship season, and one of only two examples at the highest grade ever awarded by PSA—a truly remarkable piece of prewar baseball history.
