Graded VG 3 by PSA. This is the ONLY example of this front/back combination graded at this level by PSA with none higher! Superb T206 example of legendary Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson (dark cap) 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 Christy Mathewson are virtually impossible in any condition. 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 vibrant colors, outstanding registration, moderate wear to the corners, and excellent centering. The Broad Leaf print on the reverse is exceptionally bold and crisp. This is a tremendous example of one of the rarest and most desirable T206 Hall of Famer front and rare advertising-back combinations in existence. Opening Bid $25,000.
