Graded EX 5 by PSA. Very rare example of Hall of Famer John McGraw (portrait, with cap) from the classic T206 set with an extremely desirable Lenox advertising reverse. According to T206Resource.com, Lenox ranks as the eighth most difficult advertising back (out of thirty-nine). The offered card has bold colors, a crisp image, and four strong corners with light wear. The important Lenox advertising reverse is boldly printed. There is a light unobtrusive crease running from the left edge through McGraw's shoulder noted for accuracy. Opening Bid $10.
