1911 T205 Rube Marquard Piedmont Cigarettes (SGC NM/MT 8) - "1 of 1" - HIGHEST GRADED Copy on the COMBINED SGC and PSA Pop Charts!
Rube 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 SGC "NM/MT 8" T205 Piedmont Cigarettes offering that stands alone as the finest of its kind! Locating any "NM/MT" T205 subject is a daunting endeavor, let alone an example that represents an outstanding Cooperstown inductee.

Condition sensitivity relating to the consistent gold border wear has resulted in an extremely low percentage of high-grade specimens. The world-class assessment of this Marquard gem is justified by his immaculate-like portrait image, near-perfect centering, rich rusted background hue, pinpoint corners, and remarkable unimpeded gold borders. One of the premier T205 examples imaginable, it merits the highest hobby accolades and a final resting place in any esteemed T205 Gathering!
