From the granddaddy of all baseball card issues comes this T206 White Border Clark Griffith Portrait, one of many important key cards from the legendary set, found here in an SGC 1 holder, and effectively representing the legendary Hall of Fame pitcher, manager and club executive whose career spanned the 19th and 20th centuries. One of two Griffith variations in the fabled issue, this Portrait variation boasts 60/40 centering right to left and a slight bias to the bottom, and a nice presentation on the front from the vivid orange pastel background that neatly sets off the portrait of Griffith; the Piedmont 150 back reveals staining, light toning and some significant damage to the top and bottom, apparently either paper loss or paper residue from having been affixed to a scrapbook.
