Graded EX+ 5.5 by PSA. This is the ONLY example of this front/back combination graded by PSA! Spectacular T206 example of legendary Hall of Famer Cy Young (glove shows) with the extremely rare Broad Leaf 460 advertising back. Broad Leaf 460 backs are striking, unusual, and extremely rare. Even a sample of a common player is one of the most difficult-to-find of all T206 advertising backs. Examples featuring a key Hall of Famer such as Cy Young are virtually impossible to find in any condition. An example of Cy Young, one of the premier Hall of Famers in the T206 set, with a Broad Leaf 460 back, and in extraordinary high grade, no less, is a tobacco-card collecting miracle! This is an astounding card. According to T206Resource.com, this back ranks as the fourth most difficult advertising reverse (of thirty-nine). While Broad Leaf 460 cards are by no means easy to find, the three backs ranking ahead on the list are considered by many to be nearly impossible (they are the Ty Cobb Tobacco brand back, Brown Old Mill, and Brown Lenox, respectively). The offered card boasts brilliant colors, outstanding registration, no creases, and strong corners with only the slightest hint of wear. The Broad Leaf print on the reverse is flawless and exceptionally bold. This is a stunning example of one of the rarest and most desirable T206 Hall of Famer front and rare advertising-back combinations in existence. Opening Bid $50,000.
