T206 John McGraw Multiple Strike sold for $7,300

Goodwin & Co. (March 27, 2014)

Even John McGraw’s unbridled legacy as arguably baseball’s greatest manager ever takes a back seat to the utmost paucity level of this extraordinary T206 McGraw “hands on hips” MUTIPLE STRIKE rarity! Any sophisticated T206 collector would agree that ANY multiple strike T206 subject has unlimited value and desirability, let alone one that represents the New York Giant’s immortal field general John McGraw. No cardboard angle is hotter right now than nebulous T206 factory anomalies, and this miraculous SGC ‘Auth” multiple strike Piedmont Cigarettes offering will surely arouse the interest level for a myriad of passionate tobacco enthusiasts. The verso clearly indicates multiple factory strikes to its surface, including several “ghost image” and “Piedmont” prints. Adding to its desirability is the classic John McGraw “hands on hips’ front side pose that portrays splendid “VG+” aesthetics via its fine centering, brilliant hues and superb resolution. The “Authentic” assessment is directly linked to the multiple strike verso that is the key driver for this extremely obscure T206 prize!

Final Bid with Buyer's Premium: $7,300
