A luscious high grade offering with vivid colors here features one-third of the Chicago Cubs’ double play combination that led to a lamenting New York writer’s “Tinkers-to-Evers-to-Chance” line in “Baseball’s Sad Lexicon” poem, with shortstop Joe Tinker and his famous infield mates reportedly turning their first double play in September of 1902. The Cubs were a dynasty by the time T206 cards were issued, (World Series champions in 1907 and 1908), with this Piedmont card surviving in ultra-inviting EX-MT 6 condition. The PSA Population Report tells of just one similar version (Bat off Shoulder - Piedmont back 350-460/25), at EX-MT+ 6.5, having ever been assessed higher, with two EX-MT 6s and three EX 5s also on record. Another wonderful card for serious T206 collectors to consider.
