1911 T3 Turkey Red Cabinets #87 Eddie Collins Turkey Red Back PSA 4.5 VG-EX+
MID-GRADE T3 COLLINS!!! This PSA 4.5 VG-EX+ 1911 T3 Eddie Collins portraying a Turkey Red ad back is one of only four examples at this mid-grade plateau, bested by a meager nine PSA examples! Historians agree that slick-fielding Eddie Collins is one of baseball's greatest second sackers, with his 3,315 hits, .333 lifetime average, and 741 stolen bases truly justifying that notion. One of the most breathtaking Eddie Collins T3 images we have ever encountered, its impeccable clarity and remarkable vibrant hues combine to create an almost 3D effect. It has sidestepped any notable creases and/or obtrusive surface blemishes over the past 113 years, with even corner and subtle edge wear preventing a higher assessment. The momentous value escalation of Turkey Red subjects over the past year steamrolls ahead like a roaring tsunami, with a very similar aesthetically pleasing PSA 5 Collins Turkey Red ad back nailing down a staggering $25K in Memory Lane's January 2024 auction!
