1909 T206 Piedmont 350/25 Tris Speaker PSA 6 EX-MT
Why do a myriad of elite enthusiasts covet Speaker's inaugural Major League cardboard issue? Simply stated, the "Gray Eagle", Speaker's popular nickname, was one of the greatest centerfielder that ever graced a ball field. Over his outstanding 22-year career, he accumulated over 3,500 hits, including 793 doubles and 223 triples to the tune of a .344 lifetime batting average.

He was famous for playing the shallowest centerfield in major league history, almost daring the hitter to drive the ball over his head, and is credited with the most outfield assists in major league history including a single season record of 35 in 1909! As a testament to his incredible legacy is this spectacular PSA 6 T206 Speaker Piedmont 350 Subjects offering that atypically reveals a near-perfectly registered image and fine centering between snow white borders.

One of Speaker's true rookie cards, its captivating batting pose and rich blue background steal the show for a card that certainly resides as one of the most coveted T206 subjects among the most advanced collectors!
