(LOT 60)
1909 T206 Addie Joss Portrait Piedmont 150/25 PSA 8 NM-MT

RARE JOSS!!!... Addie Joss on his Piedmont back T206 in a PSA 8 NM-MT holder. One of the most underrated pitchers in baseball history is right handed Cleveland Indians Hall of Famer Addie Joss who owns the second lowest lifetime E.R.A. of all-time, a mind blowing 1.89 figure. Joss cards hold a special place with vintage collectors since he tragically passed away in April 1911, the victim of spinal meningitis.

Strikingly similar to Lou Gehrig's legacy, Addie Joss will always be best remembered for his sudden and tragic death, with its unforeseen circumstances far surpassing his incredible accomplishments as one of our National Pastime's greatest pitchers. For all of the above reasons, collectors are significantly attracted to his remaining cardboard mementos. Miraculously, all attributes of this cardboard "blazer" are equally consistent if not better than any other T206 we have sold n the past. As nice as we have ever offered, this one is borderline MINT. A great addition to any high end collection.

MIN BID $2,000
