Gorgeous portrait card of Cy Young, one of our favorites from the T206 issue. Well-centered with light corner wear and a clean surface give the impression of a VG-EX card. Observing the reverse, however, reveals significant paper loss and a few paper remnants as well, a clear indication of scrapbook removal. The same scrapbook that results in the AUTHENTIC grade is what preserved the card image, however - a mixed blessing, for sure. Still, a very desirable card, particularly among budget-conscious collectors of prewar Hall of Famers.
