1911 T3 Turkey Red Cabinets #16 Johnny Evers Checklist Back PSA 5 EX - Only 3 PSA Examples Graded Higher!
THE CRAB!!! One of the most artistic baseball cards are the 1911 T3 Turkey Red Cabinets, with this outstanding PSA 5 offering of HOF second-sacker Johnny Evers revealing an extremely scarce mid-grade assessment. One of only eleven examples at this world-class plateau, a meager three specimens have been graded higher! There isn't a single baseball fan that hasn't heard of the "Tinker to Evers to Chance" double play combination that led the Cubs to two World Championships in 1907 and 1908, with Evers also pacing the "miracle" Boston Braves to a sweep of the heavily favorite Athletics in the 1914 World Series. Nicknamed "the Crab", a brilliant Evers fielding pose portrays stellar aesthetics, with its sparkling hues and crystal-clear clarity stealing the show. While even corner wear and standard border toning prevent a higher assessment, it is the seldom-surfacing PSA 5 grade that earns it a rightful place in any world-class T3 gathering!
