1910-11 T206 Joe Tinker Bat Off Shoulder American Beauty 460/42 PSA 5 EX – POP 1!
AMERICAN BEAUTY 460!!!... One of the most elusive T206 backs is the American Beauty 460 Subjects/Factory 42, with this PSA 5 EX 1910-11 Joe Tinker Bat Off Shoulder boasting that super scarce advertisement. The SOLE example at this eye-pleasing plateau, it proudly stands alone at the top of the PSA Pop Chart as the finest of its kind! Furthermore, SGC's census report only reflects a single 5 as the highest graded SGC specimen. Only 10 of these Tinker subjects have managed to be handled by both PSA and SGC, a bona fide testament to its extreme paucity level. The first link in the iconic "Tinker to Evers to Chance" double-play combination, the HOF shortstop looks outstanding in his classic batting pose, highlighted by robust gray tints and a rich yellow/orange setting. Even corner wear is consistent with the grade, and no obtrusive blemishes are evident on either side. The narrow borders are typical for any American Beauty issue, and the flipside portrays the critical American Beauty 460 Subjects/Factory 42 bold green advertisement that immediately places this pinnacle POP 1 PSA 5 Tinker as one of his most significant tobacco cards!
