Graded VG 3 by PSA (submitted by REA). This is the only example of this front/back combination graded at this level by PSA with none higher! Outstanding example of Hall of Famer Walter Johnson (portrait pose) from the classic T206 White Border Series featuring an Old Mill advertising reverse. Though Old Mill isn't normally considered a rare advertising back, there are several subjects that are rarely found with an Old Mill back, this being one of them. One of only five graded examples by PSA with this front/back combination. This example has bright colors, a slightly out-of-focus image, honest corner wear, and centering slightly toward the left. The important Old Mill advertising reverse is boldly printed and mostly clean. This is a superb Hall of Fame example of this tough Old Mill subject. Opening Bid $1,000.
