THE CHIEF!!! Presented here is a PSA 7 NM T206 of the immortal Charles Albert "Chief" Bender Pitching Trees in Background Piedmont 350 Subjects/Factory 25 issue, bested by only two PSA Piedmont examples! Author of over 200 victories and four single-season ERAs less than 2.00, Bender was called upon time after time again by Connie Mack to deliver a crucial World Series win. Bender did not disappoint his HOF manager, winning six World Series games and assisting Philadelphia in winning three World Championships. Likewise, this tobacco offering portrays championship caliber, with the classic Bender pitching pose boasting near-perfect resolution and set against an overwhelmingly vibrant baby blue and green setting. Fine centering reveals a hint of partiality towards the upper edge between four dazzling white borders, while the fresh surfaces, right-angled corners and bold mid-night blue Piedmont Cigarettes verso complete this 114-year-old time-defying memento!
