1909-11 T206 Joe Tinker Bat Off Shoulder EPDG PSA 5 EX – POP 2; Only Two PSA Examples Graded Higher!
MID-GRADE EPDG!!!... One of only two PSA examples listed at this highly coveted mid-grade tier, a meager two PSA specimens have managed to best this elusive PSA 5 T206 Joe Tinker Bat Off Shoulder EPDG scarcity. Its obscurity in any grade is justified by only 11 PSA copies being encapsulated in any grade, with advanced tobacco enthusiasts painstakingly seeking this nebulous Tinker/EPDG combo. The classic batting image of the Cub's immortal HOF shortstop has defied time, with the illustration still boasting bright hues, relatively clean surfaces, and fine resolution. No glaring surface flaws are evident, and even corner wear most likely prevents a higher assessment. Of course, its most critical feature is the extremely bold red El Principe De Gales/Factory 17 verso that seldom surfaces on the flipside of Joe Tinker's legendary bat-off-shoulder T206 pose!
