(LOT 448)
1915 Cracker Jack #167 Clark Griffith (PSA NM/MT 8)

Only the T206 Monster Set can boast the prestige of the 1914 and 1915 Cracker Jack compilations that are loaded with many of our National Pastime's Cooperstown inductees. One of those prestigious Hall of Famers, legendary Senators owner Clark Griffith, is presented here in an outstanding PSA 8 holder, with only 3 examples managing to surpass the hallowed "Near Mint/Mint 8" assessment. While winning 240 games over a super major league career, the "Old Fox", as he was commonly called, was more renowned for his 20-year managerial stint with four different ball clubs as well as becoming the major owner of the Washington Nationals.

His classic Carl Horner portrait image is nothing short of sensational, set against a bold "fire engine" red background and only modestly favoring the upper right edges. Dazzling white borders, pinpoint corners, a razor-sharp perimeter and brilliant verso complete this "timeless" marvel that has stubbornly defied "father Time" for the past 105 years. Indeed, any serious vintage enthusiast would argue that this captivating cardboard heirloom merits a final resting place in any advanced PSA Registered Cracker Jack compilation!
