This is an important Rookie card from arguably the most coveted baseball card issue ever created, a 1910 T206 White Border Rube Marquard Hands at Thighs Piedmont 350 Back found here in an SGC 1 holder, one of three variations of the legendary Giants hurler in the issue. The card has a genuinely outstanding presentation, with good centering left to right and a slight bias to the bottom, and elegant blue and green pastel background colors showcasing the Marquard image to excellent effect; the card seemingly presents light years better than its technical grade, with the SGC 1 designation likely stemming from the significant paper loss on the reverse, which also bears some staining and toning.
