Grasshopper Maines (aka, Mains), a pitcher with one of baseball’s most memorable nicknames, is captured in a sharply defined portrait on this well-balanced PSA VG 3 for the pose catalogued #290-2 by The Photographic Baseball Cards of Goodwin & Co. His image holds up well against mild edge wear and a subtle slant to its bottom edge, with light toning on the reverse. Note the black speck at the upper right appears on all cards for this pose, so itdoesn't figure into its grade. The combined population reports show four total graded, with just this one by PSA!

Mains could both pitch and hit well, often batting over .300 to go with his 10+ wins against competition at all pro levels. A charming addition for collectors who enjoy colorful names and great photos from the Old Judge roster.
