T206 Sam Crawford

Post sub title
  • July 23, 2014

You already know the story behind the T206 set, and all of it's luster. But do you know Hall of Famer Sam Crawford, aka "Wahoo Sam"? Well, you should. He's the all-time leader in triples, and I think it's safe to say that's a record that won't be touched (309). Not only could the guy fly around the base paths, but he was also a slugger, as he led the league in home runs twice, and RBIs three times. Some argue that he's one of the best hitters of all-time, and according to the "Gray Ink Test", Crawford was a better hitter than Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, & Lou Gehrig.

Now, pair Crawford's accolades with the stature of the T206 set, and you got one heck of a baseball card! This week, we are extremely excited to offer you this highly graded, sough after T206 Sam Crawford, which is perfectly centered, with sharp corners, and virtually no surface wear. The card is easy on the eyes, as it portrays stunning pastel colors, with a clear registration, and a crisp image of Crawford throwing the ball. It's safe to say that this card is scarce, as only 35 examples have EVER been graded by SGC. No T206 Crawford card, with this back, has gotten past the SGC 70 threshold - until now. After deep scrutiny, SGC has deemed this card Near Mint, and has assigned it a numerical grade of an "84". This card will certainly draw the attention of collectors from around the country, as they try to bolster up their collection with this Hall of Famer.
