1910 E98 "Black Swamp" Eddie Collins - Red Background (PSA NM/MT 8) – Only One Graded Higher!
This miraculous 1910 Black Swamp E98 Eddie Collins PSA 8 offering has only been bested by a sole PSA encapsulated copy! One of the more formidable players in the illustrious 2012 "Black Swamp Find", like Eddie Collins himself, it stands as one of the finest of its kind. Hall of Famer Eddie Collins is arguably considered by many historians to be the greatest 2nd baseman of all-time (with all due respect to Hornsby and Lajoie). Collins' statistical achievements have surpassed most other Hall of Famers, including a staggering .333 lifetime average accumulated via 3,311 safeties.

He was also a complete player, widely regarded as the best fielding 2nd baseman of his era, and was a fantastic base runner, swiping 743 bases throughout a spectacular 25-year career. Synonymous with his second base world-class prowess comes along this Black Swamp gem that has only been bested by a single 8.5 example. His imposing throwing image is extremely well centered between four snow white borders, with the image revealing he finest possible contrast and resolution. A razor- sharp perimeter and immaculate-like surfaces complete this timeless cardboard wonder that suffices as another outstanding exemplar from the iconic Black Swamp Ohio discovery!
