(LOT 156)
1909-11 T206 Ed Abbaticchio "Blue Sleeves" Old Mill – PSA 8 NM-MT – "POP 1" Old Mill and the Highest Graded Old Mill Example!
HIGH GRADE T206!!!... This extraordinary PSA 8 NM-MT T206 Ed Abbaticchio "Blue Sleeves" Old Mill offering just happens to be the SOLE and HIGHEST GRADED example on the illustrious PSA Pop Chart! Indeed, of the total PSA Old Mill listed specimens, it stands alone as the finest of its kind, with its closest competitor being a PSA 6 Old Mill. As an added exclamation point, of the nearly 400 PSA encapsulated copies for ALL Abbaticchio "Blue Sleeve" ad backs, only three other examples have managed to achieve the hallowed "8" assessment, with not a sole example achieving a higher grade.

Indeed folks, this "POP 1" Old Mill marvel is the type of card that surfaces once in a lifetime, and while formidable middle infielder Ed Abbaticchio will never be enshrined in Cooperstown, this remarkable highest graded offering merits serious Hall of Fame consideration. A sparkling batting image literally steals the show and is highlighted by a brilliant array of blue, red and yellow hues, with Abbaticchio about to unleash his classic swing. Pack-fresh surfaces have eluded any notable flaws, and the razor-sharp perimeter edging includes four pinpoint corners. The final compliment is a nearly impeccable OLD MILL verso, with this unique for the grade masterpiece proudly standing alone at the top of PSA Pop Chart!
