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, 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 is similarly impressive, with just a whisper of toning. 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
