1909-11 T206 Eddie Collins Philadelphia Sweet Caporal 350/30 PSA 7 NM
COCKY T206!!!...
Bested by only two PSA Sweet Caporal examples, this sparkling PSA 7 NM T206 Eddie Collins marvel joins a duo of its equal brethren at this high-grade level! Eddie Collins tallied 3,315 safeties including a fabulous 187 triples and stole 741 bases for a remarkable .333 batting average in his incredible 25-year career. Cocky Collins lived up to his nickname as he also led the AL in fielding percentage nine times, putouts seven times and assists four. One of baseball's greatest all-time second basemen, the Collins portrait pose has always been a collector favorite due to the brilliant contrast of the bold cranberry red background that effectively projects his classic Carl Horner image. Magnificent centering between four blinding white borders with relatively clean surfaces. Subtle corner wear consistent with the assessment, fine edging, and a Sweet Caporal ad back place this masterpiece as one of the finest eye-pleasing T206 Eddie Collins examples you will ever come across!
