(LOT 54)
1909 T206 Walter Johnson Hands at Chest Old Mill 25 PSA 8 NM-MT

"BIG" BIG TRAIN!!!... The T206 Walter Johnson 'Hands at Chest' tobacco card is one of the most popular HOF T206s in the hobby. Especially considering that no major "E" cards or Bread cards, inexplicably, were issued for Walter Johnson, his "T" cards are highly desirable with vintage collectors. Johnson's accomplishments are virtually insurmountable, explaining why most baseball experts nominate him as the greatest pitcher who ever lived. 417 lifetime wins, over 3,500 strikeouts, a lifetime 2.17 ERA, and an incredible 110 shutouts, certainly substantiate this statement.

He succeeded the great Christy Mathewson as the game's consummate professional and was idolized by thousands of aspiring young ballplayers. The offered card is an absolute stunner. His portrait, hands in glove image, is a perfect masterpiece, easily comparable to any other PSA 8 in the hobby. All the borders are clean and centered nicely with the "Old Mills 25" reverse just as nice. The corners are pinpoint and the outer edging is razor sharp. Upgrade your collection with this pack fresh example from 1909.
