Unquestionably one of the keys to the wildly popular T3 Turkey Red set, the Walter Johnson example has seen increased demand among advanced collectors in recent years. And for good reason! The dominating image of the "Big Train" stands out with remarkable contrast against the background pastels, with the bright sunset colors at the top offering additional visual appeal. And if you engage any baseball historian in a conversation regarding the greatest pitcher of all time, there is no question that his name will be at the top of the list. His career record of 110 shutouts will most likely never be broken, and he was a 12-time winner of 20 games in a season, and twice won 30! And he finished 11 seasons with an ERA of 2.00 or lower. The offered T3 specimen has been graded EX 5 by PSA, with only 2 ad back examples grading higher (and only 1 checklist back grading higher). The factory pigments remain deeply impressed upon the canvas, and the reverse shows only minimal signs of age toning. A stunning example of an inaugural class Hall of Famer, deserving of a place in any world-class collection!
