(LOT 103)
T206 Rube Marquard "Hands at Thighs" – Piedmont 350 Subjects/Factory 25 (PSA NM/MT 8) - "1 of 3" Piedmonts; Only 2 Piedmonts Graded Higher!

Marquard achieved his Hall of Fame credentials pitching with the New York Giants and managed to win over 200 games. More impressively, from 1911 – 1913 he won 73 games, assisting the great Christy Mathewson in leading the Giants to 3 consecutive National League pennants. Synonymous with his championship-like prowess is this remarkable PSA 8 T206 "Hands at Thighs" Piedmont 350 Subjects offering that has been joined by only 2 other specimens at this hallowed level with a paltry 2 specimens graded higher!

Marquard's brilliant pose provides world-class aesthetics, with his sparkling illustration affixed to a brilliant hued background. This well-centered image resides as one of the most fascinating eye pleasing T206 poses, with the clean surfaces and bright white borders residing as final exclamation points to the spectacular visual quality. Extremely scarce rare for the grade, its low population and brilliant eye appeal combine to place it as an elite enthusiast's dream cardboard keepsake!
