1910 E98 "Black Swamp" Johnny Kling – Red Background (PSA Mint 9) – Only 1 Graded Higher!
Johnny Kling was regarded as one of the finest defensive catchers of his time, ably assisting the Cubs in winning two world championships in 1907 and 1908. Likewise, this remarkable PSA Mint 9 Black Swamp red background Kling offering portrays championship cardboard status, standing alongside fourteen other specimens as the finest of its kind!
Ling's classic "arms outstretched" batting pose is simply impeccable, affixed to a sensational red background while exhibiting near-perfect centering. A "pack-fresh" card in every conceivable manner, we can only scratch our heads and wonder why it didn't merit the perfect "10" assessment. Yet, as most would agree, its unfathomable "Mint 9" grade for a 107-year old card and "pack-fresh" eye appeal easily place it as one of the most spectacular cards on the planet!
