There are three different Hughie Jennings cards included in the T206 set. This version, which is a portrait of the Hall of Fame infielder, is the rarest of the three. Jennings' red hair and rosy cheeks match the yellow and orange gradient background perfectly, lending tons of color to offset his gray Detroit uniform. Soft, rounded corners are consistent with the grade on this offering, whose centering is slightly south and east on the canvas. The text under the portrait "JENNINGS, DETROIT" was nearly cut at the factory, but has seemed to just make the card in its entirety. However, the bottom bits of the text from the card above it on the sheet have made its way on to the top of this example.

Some very faint foxing is present on the front, along with light tobacco staining on the card's otherwise gorgeous Piedmont back, further explaining the technical grade. PSA has only ever graded 99 total examples of this Piedmont 150 back version of the Ganley, with only twenty-four receiving a higher grade than the VG 3 offered here.

Many know Jennings for his colorful antics, hoots, whistles, and his famous shouts of "Ee-Yah!" from the third base coaching box. Few realize that Jennings is a Hall of Fame player who led the Majors in WAR for four consecutive years, led the Majors in HBP for five consecutive years, and holds the all-time Major League record in the category.
