1910 E98 "Black Swamp" Johnny Evers – Red Background (PSA NM/MT 8) – Only One Graded Higher!
Hall of Fame 2nd sacker Johnny Evers legendary stature was achieved due to his role as the second link in the iconic "Tinker to Evers to Chance" double-play combination that spearheaded the Cubs to their last 2 championships in 1907 and 1908. Simply stated, Johnny Evers was an unquestionable "winner", also leading the Boston Braves to their miracle world championship in 1914.

A sensational Johnny Evers cardboard keepsake, it truly merits the utmost consideration from the hobby's most esteemed enthusiasts!
