T206 “Big Four” Rarity Graded VG 3 by SGC. For those who have made the 1909-1911 T206 White Border series a lifelong project, editions are often considered complete at (520/524) cards. Pursuing the remaining “Big Four” cards — Honus Wagner, Eddie Plank, Sherry Magie (Magee), and Doyle NY Nat'l (Hands above Head) — have stymied many seasoned hobbyists, as they are either too challenging or expensive and represent the pinnacle of scarcity. Proudly offered is a 1909-1911 T206 White Borders Sherry Magee (Magie) error with a Piedmont 150 reverse! Only 86 total copies of this blockbuster have been judged by the authenticator. The gleaming surface of the Philadelphia Phillies star is crease-free with only moderately worn corners, creamy edges and striking surface colors. An evident factory "diamond cut" does not diminish this rarity's overall presentation in the least. The advertising back does reveal a microscopic hint of soiling but is otherwise amplified by vibrant blue typeface. This paramount error card is "a must" for "Monster" die-hards and constitutes a major opportunity for T206 enthusiasts. Opening Bid $5,000.
