One of the more elusive high-grade T206's to find is a high-grade Miller Huggins "Portrait" version, with this PSA 8 marvel joined by only 2 other Piedmont examples and NONE graded higher! Indeed folks, along with a handful of other copies, you are now viewing the finest "Portrait" Huggins Piedmont subject of its kind! A stellar 2nd baseman for Cincinnati and St. Louis, Huggins was eventually voted into Cooperstown primarily for his unbridled fame as the New York Yankees manager. His managerial legacy with the iconic Yankee teams of the 1920's where he won 3 World Championships will forever be linked to the immortal 1927 Yankees.

It was that immortal team that boasted the unparalleled "Murder's Row" lineup including Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, with that ballclub still considered by many experts as the greatest team to ever grace a baseball diamond. Similar to Huggins' winning ways in New York is the championship like aesthetics of this esteemed offering including an outstanding central image, bright white borders, fine centering, clean surfaces and pinpoint corners; with all of these world class attributes more than substantiating the world-class assessment!
