(LOT 106)
T206 John McGraw "Portrait w/Cap" – Old Mill Cigarettes (PSA 8) - "1 of 1" Old Mill & The SOLE Highest Graded Example!

This extraordinary PSA 8 John McGraw "portrait w/Cap" is one of the finer T206's ever recorded of the great Giants manager; standing tall as the SOLE and Highest Graded Old Mill specimen on the planet! Synonymous with this card's high-grade stature is John McGraw's unparalleled standing as arguably our National Pastime's greatest manager. In his 29-year tenure as Giants filed general, he won an impressive 8 pennants and 3 World Championships, and his managerial legacy will outlast eternity.

Similar to his managing stature are the aesthetics emanating from this world-class gem including a brilliant central image w/crystal clear clarity, strong right-angled corners, razor sharp perimeters, super clean surfaces and a near-immaculate Piedmont ad back. Simply stated, scarce back PSA 8 T206 subjects are few and far between, substantiating why this near-impossible masterpiece merits the utmost hobby accolades from even the most advanced enthusiast!
