1909-11 T206 Mordecai Brown Chicago Shirt Piedmont 350/25 PSA 5 EX
The immortal Mordecai "Three Fingered" Brown will forever reside as one of the dead-ball era's greatest pitchers. He baffled hitters via the filthy movement on his pitchers generated from his deformed fingers from an accident as a farm boy when he inadvertently stuck his hand in a corn shredder (severely cutting his index finger and paralyzing his pinky finger). He ended his career in 1916 with an unfathomable 2.06 E.R.A., establishing himself as one of baseball's all-time hurlers. Synonymous with his iconic pitching stature is the superb eye appeal of this PSA 5 "Chicago on Shirt" Piedmont 350 Subjects gem that reveals "6 EX-MT" aesthetics. The classic throwing pose reveals Brown releasing another one of his virtually unhittable pitches, with his Chicago uniform depicting vibrant hues and its crisp resolution actually revealing the deformity in Brown's right index finger. His well-centered image is set against a brilliant yellow background, only slightly favoring the upper edge. The relatively clean surfaces and even corner wear are the final compliments for this highly-coveted Mordecai Brown heirloom that presents itself in stellar fashion!
