1911 T3 Turkey Red #47 Frank Chance Checklist Back PSA 5 EX
MID-GRADE T3 CHANCE!!! One of Hall of Famer Frank Chance's most compelling cardboard keepsakes is his 1911 Turkey Red Cabinet, offered here in an outstanding PSA 5 holder. Ultra-desirable at this mid-grade plateau, only six PSA examples have managed to best this eye-pleasing marvel. Nicknamed the "Peerless Leader", Chance was the final link in the immortal "Tinker to Evers to Chance" double play combination. While a fine 1st baseman and batsman, Chance's place in Cooperstown was solidified by his managerial success, whereby from 1906 through 1910, he led the Cubs to four pennants and two championships. This scarce for the grade artifact offers a crystal-clear Chance batting pose bursting with an array of soundly preserved vibrant hues. While somewhat square corners and relatively clean surfaces are only slightly compromised by a few stray soiling spots on the borders, it's the PSA 5 assessment that truly steals the show!
