From the granddaddy of all baseball card issues comes this T206 White Border Nap Lajoie Throwing card, one of many important key cards from the legendary set, found here in a PSA Authentic holder. Lajoie was easily one of the premier stars whose career spanned the 19th and 20th centuries, a five-time batting champion and certainly the greatest second baseman of his era and beyond. The card has been shortened enough at the bottom to have cut off most of the player name and team, yet it still provides a nice presentation with the pastel yellow background that so effectively sets off the Lajoie Throwing image. One of three Lajoie variations in the fabled issue, this example has white borders and only slightly rounded corners; the Piedmont 150 Back reveals staining and toning, along with significant paper loss.
