1909-11 T206 Nap Lajoie Portrait Sweet Caporal 350/25 PSA 6 EX-MT
ICONIC NAP!!! Along with Collins and Hornsby, Napoleon Lajoie stands tall as one of baseball's greatest all-time second sackers, and one of his most coveted cards is Nap's illustrious T206 Portrait boasting Carl Horner's classic portrait image. Presented here in an outstanding PSA 6 holder, this Sweet Caporal 350 Subjects/Factory 25 masterpiece resides as a resounding testament for the immortal Lajoie, rekindling memories of his .338 lifetime average via 3,243 safeties. His remarkable 1901 season stands as one of the greatest hitting achievements in baseball history, capturing the first 20th century Triple Crown via his modern-day record .426 batting average.

The card itself reveals a scintillating Lajoie portrait pose, depicting high-quality contrast, rich facial hues, and crystal-clear clarity. The similar image utilized on other Lajoie cardboard icons, including his W600 Cabinet, M116 Sporting Life subjects, 103 Williams Caramel and E96 Philadelphia Caramel, it's flanked by a radiant yellow background as well as snow-white borders. Somewhat square corners consistent with the grade and relatively clean surfaces complete this PSA 6 tobacco marvel that unquestionably suffices as one of the Monster Set's legendary cards!
