1910 E98 "Black Swamp" Fred Tenny (Tenney) - Green Background (PSA NM/MT 8)
A formidable hitter, 1st baseman Fred Tenney eclipsed the .300 mark in seven of his first 10 seasons while also displaying a slick fielding glove. Tenney was considered one of the primary drivers of utilizing a first baseman's mitt as we know it today, with many historians simply calling the mitt a "Tenney". His astonishing representation on this E98 Black Swamp PSA 8 green background offering places this card as one of twelve "NM/MT 8's", with a mere 6 examples graded higher! His classic batting pose with "hands separated" resembles the immortal Ty Cobb, and depicts remarkable contrast and crystal-clear clarity. A flawless powder green setting, dazzling white borders and strong right-angled corners all contribute to the well merited assessment that elevates this "common" card to world-class stature!
