Description

Graded VG 3 by SGC. Challenging 1911 E94 George Close Candy Co. example of New York Highlanders third baseman Jimmy Austin. This purple background variant is crease-free with penetrating surface colors and an unmarked checklist back. Despite a moderate diamond cut, this victim of Ty Cobb's famous "spikes first" slide appears "none the worse for wear."
