June 15, 2023: Tobacco Cards Only Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/15/2023
This is an important card from arguably the most important baseball card issue ever created, a T206 White Border Hugh Duffy card with Piedmont 350-460/25 back, found here in a PSA 2.5 holder, a condition somewhat better than these cards are typically encountered in mature collections. The card has decent centering side to side and slight bias to the top, with an attractive white border and boasting a nice presentation of the legendary 19th Century Hall of Famer with the vivid, pastel yellow and green background colors that nicely showcase the Duffy image; the Piedmont 350-460/25 card back has some staining and toning and miniscule paper loss. The outfielder logged the highest batting average in MLB history with a .440 batting average in his Triple Crown season in 1894. His baseball career spanned nearly seven decades, with service as a player, manager, coach, club executive and team owner.
1909-11 T206 Hugh Duffy PSA 2.5
