Underrated issue featuring 287 cards with many variations and differing levels of scarcity distributed by mail to subscribers of Sporting Life magazine. This is a spectacular high-grade example of Cy Young's card graded NM 7 by PSA. Just five examples have graded higher all NM-MT 8 with only 7 in total at the NM level. Card is exceptional with strong color and very little surface wear lightly touched corners and centering within the tolerance of the grade. The reverse is black print and clean. One of the key cards of the issue featuring the pitching great in a familiar pose wearing his lace-up Boston jersey the "Boston" touched out of the illustration so he could be depicted with Cleveland the city Young played in from 1909 through some of 1911. By the end of the 1911 season young was back in Boston his final season in the majors. A fantastic high-grade card.
