1911 T3 Turkey Red Cabinets #36 Tris Speaker Checklist Back PSA 3.5 VG-EX
THE GRAY EAGLE!!! This PSA 3.5 VG+ 1911 Turkey Red Tris Speaker cabinet was issued during the campaign in which the Gray Eagle joined Cobb and Shoeless Joe as one of the AL's three premier batsmen. Speaker would post a formidable .334 batting average, embarking on a career that would place him as one of baseball's greatest center fielders. His 22-year career with Boston, Cleveland, and Philadelphia netted 3,514 hits, including 792 doubles and 222 triples, to the tune of an incredible .345 lifetime batting average. Coincidentally, the tobacco manufacturers chose a classic Speaker batting stance for his #36 T3 subject, with the red hues on his striped cap, Boston uniform, and period-style socks prompting the T3 Speaker as being one of the most captivating of all T3 subjects. Presenting itself in near mid-grade fashion, the breathtaking image boasts vibrant hues and the lack of any notable surface flaws, with modest corner wear preventing a higher assessment.
