There are two different Ed Konetchy cards included in the T206 set. One depicts him with his glove hand outstretched above his head, awaiting a catch in front of a fire orange sky. This version, featuring an action shot of the First Baseman with his glove near the ground in anticipation of a ball coming his way, is the slightly less rare of the two. At first glance, this issue doesn't appear to be super colorful, but that is due to the overwhelming portion of the image colored in earth tones. The gray of his uniform, the white of his undershirt, the different shades of brown on his glove, cap, socks, and infield dirt, and then the flesh tones of his hand and face, all in front of the green grass and blue sky, this card actually has lots of colors if you look closely.

A slightly uneven cut on the top border keeps this card from looking more centered, with the image just east on the canvas. Soft corners and some light tobacco staining further explain the card's technical grade, though collectors who use the T206 set to study the printing may be interested in the pink layer being slightly out of registration. The back is mostly clean, save for "302" written in pencil along the bottom border. PSA has only ever graded 29 total examples of this Old Mill back version of the Konetchy, with only fourteen receiving a higher grade than the VG+ 3.5 offered here.

Edward Joseph Konetchy played 15 seasons in the Majors, collecting 2,150 hits over 2,085 games. He spent 1915 with the Pittsburgh Rebels of the Federal League, where he led the league in Total Bases with 278 before rejoining the National League for the final six years of his career. From 1907-1913, he played First Base for the St. Louis Cardinals, as he is depicted on this card, finishing top-25 in MVP voting in 1911 and 1912.
