This portrait pose for legendary pitcher Walter Johnson captures the fireballer still in his early 20s, already mowing down batters by the bushel and setting the course for his MLB record of 110 career shutouts, a record that stands well beyond any modern pitcher. 

The SGC FR 1.5 grade reflects touched corners on the front and light paper loss and a small ink spot on the reverse. The front is well-centered, with excellent color, and presents as a much better technical grade - the card front has the eye appeal of an EX/MT card. The paper loss is minimal, but renders the numerical grade technically accurate despite the tremendous eye appeal. The nicest T206 Johnson you will find at this grade level.
