1911 T205 Gold Border Cy Young Sovereign Back PSA 4 VG-EX
TOBACCO CY!!! The immortal Cy Young is the 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 Sovereign Cigarettes offering is truly worthy of a final resting place in any esteemed collection. Fortunately, this example does not reflect the typical severe gold border chipping, with minimal border wear only evident near the corners. Young's classic portrait pose is breathtaking, with the ornate green baseball diamond, robust orange-red background, and stylish baseball equipment all emanating fine quality. No obtrusive surface blemishes are evident on either side, and most ironically, the lower caption on the Sovereign back reads "FIT FOR A KING", with Cy's unparalleled legacy likewise placing him as king of the hill!
