The durable arm of Ed Walsh still holds the MLB record for career ERA at 1.82, a number that will be nigh-impossible to reach by modern hurlers. (Clayton Kershaw sits closest among active players with his 2.50 ERA.) This beautiful example shows off his dark Chicago jersey against a mint background, making for a most distinctive T206 look. The SGC EX 5 grade reflects slightly rounded corners and spots on front and back. This mid-grade card would be a standout example in almost any collection. The current SGC population report for 1909 Sweet Caporal shows just two higher!
