The presented example of Jimmy Collins' T206 Piedmont issue features centering that moderately favors the top edge and strong EX/MT to NM marks throughout for a final grade of SGC 80 EX/NM 6. Collins is remembered for famously jumping leagues at the turn of the century, defecting from the NL's Boston Beaneaters to the Boston Americans of the American League as a player/manager in 1901. Two years later, he would lead the Americans to a victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first ever World Series.
