Attractive minor league card of Hall of Famer Jimmy Collins, as he finished with two years as player/manager in Providence after a lengthy MLB career in nearby Boston. One wonders today if Jimmy would have insisted on a bit more MLB time, as his career totals fell one hit short of 2000! Nostalgic managers and teammates seem keen to help legends reach round numbers these days.
The PSA G 3 grade reflects modest corner rounding with flecks along its distinctive golden borders, a familiar woe for T205 collectors, and a crease along the right side. The reverse shows some foxing and handling marks. An important deadball HOF example, regardless of condition, and interesting pose for a future Cooperstown inductee.
