Absolutely stunning for the grade this example of Hall of Fame hurler Cy Young boasts four sharp almost Near Mint corners along with a crisp vivid image. The card is simply spectacular.The reverse of the card has a wrinkle. It is very small in the lower-left corner just outside the blue border of the "Piedmont" design. It is amazing that such a wrinkle reduces a card"s grade so dramatically and yet the grade is technically accurate. The wrinkle does not pass through to the front of the card that we can see even under magnification. The front of the card along the top border has what appears to be a very tiny speck of color loss right along the dark rule line separating the yellow background from the white border. There is some very mild chipping on the card reverse. We are really trying hard to describe all the flaws with this card because the fact is they are small and insignificant and yet the card is worthy of its assigned grade.Still for genuine eye appeal and mind-blowing sharpness we would imagine that there are very very few examples of this card in existence that are nicer.Population DataSGC Population: 100 total graded 3 at this level 19 higherPSA Population: 163 total graded 4 at this level 71 higher**Please note that PSA just recently began to differentiate between T206 back variations in their population reports so it is entirely possible that other examples of this card may have been graded by PSA and classified in their pop reports as "unknown back."
