1950 Bowman #62 Ted Kluszewski PSA 9 – Towering Strength in High-Grade Simplicity

In 1950, Ted Kluszewski was emerging as one of the most physically imposing hitters in the National League. Known for his sleeveless jerseys that showed off his massive arms, “Big Klu” was a slugger ahead of his time—delivering both raw power and consistent contact. While his true power peak would come a few years later, Kluszewski was already making a name for himself as a feared presence in the Cincinnati Reds lineup, a fan favorite who would go on to notch four 40+ HR seasons and finish with a career .298 batting average.

This 1950 Bowman #62 issue captures the Hall of Fame-caliber masher in his early years, and this PSA 9 example is nothing short of stunning. The colors remain bold, with crisp detail throughout the classic hand-painted portrait. Centering is exceptional, and the edges and corners are razor-sharp, reflecting incredible preservation for a card now 70+ years old. As one of Bowman’s most elegant early postwar sets, the 1950 release is loaded with charm—and high-grade examples like this are seldom seen, especially for early Kluszewski.

A bold, beautiful tribute to one of baseball’s most underrated power bats, this card represents a rare opportunity to own one of the finest known examples of a vintage slugger with enduring hobby appeal.
