(LOT 8)
1909-11 E90-1 American Caramel Cy Young Boston SGC 2.5 GOOD+
ICONIC CY!!! One of the E90-1 set's most sought-after Cooperstown inductees is the immortal Cy Young, presented here in an SGC 2.5 holder. They named a pitching award after the great Cy Young, and this candy card likewise merits an award for aesthetic appeal. Cy Young established the benchmark for all other pitchers to chase, with his 511 lifetime wins and 749 complete games seemingly unbreakable records, more than substantiating why baseball chose his name to grace the annual Cy Young Award. Boasting superb eye appeal, the iconic Carl Horner portrait image provides robust hues and is set against a vibrant fire engine red background that soundly projects the bold red "B.A." letters affixed across his Boston flannels. While rounded corners account for the grade, the relatively clean surfaces and iconic Young image more than justify its rightful place in any serious vintage collection!
