1911 T205 Gold Border Cy Young Honest Long Cut Back PSA 4 VG-EX
GOLD BORDER CY!!! Baseball icon Cy Young is the legendary author of baseball's unbreakable record of 511 lifetime victories, prompting the permanent use of his hallowed name for baseball's annual pitching excellence award. Coincidentally, his representation on this splendid PSA 4 VG-EX 1911 T205 Gold Border Honest Long Cut offering is truly worthy of a special place in any esteemed collection. It is no secret that the ongoing stigma for T205 subjects is their ultra-condition sensitivity, resulting in serious gold border flaking for many subjects. This example, however, has retained the majority of its original gold border hue, with the only surface wear situated near each of the four borders. Young's classic portrait pose is brilliant, with the ornate green baseball diamond, robust red-hued background, relatively clean surfaces, and stylish baseball equipment all emanating fine quality. No obtrusive surface blemishes are evident on either side, and we simply cannot overemphasize the significance of a T205 card eluding surface wear along a majority of its fragile gold border edging, especially when the subject is the immortal Denton True "Cy" Young!
