1933 Goudey Max Bishop #61 PSA 2 (Autograph Grade 5). Only one graded higher and only 4 have ever been graded by PSA/DNA. Max Frederick Bishop (September 5, 1899 – February 24, 1962) was an baseball player, scout and manager. He played in Major League Baseball as a second baseman from 1924 through 1935, most notably as a member of the Philadelphia Athletics dynasty that won three consecutive American League pennants from 1929 to 1931 and, won the World Series in 1929 and 1930. He played his final two seasons for the Boston Red Sox.
Bishop was the leadoff hitter for one of the most feared batting orders in the history of baseball featuring three future Baseball Hall of Fame members (Al Simmons, Jimmie Foxx, and Mickey Cochrane). Nicknamed "Camera Eye" for his ability to draw bases on balls, his .423 career on-base percentage ranks as the 15th highest in Major League Baseball history. His career ratio of bases on balls to hits is the highest of any player in Major League Baseball history. Part of The Uncle Jimmy Collection.
