Graded GOOD 30 by SGC. Attractive example of Hall of Famer Walter Johnson (portrait pose) from the classic T206 White Border set featuring a desirable Sovereign 350 advertising reverse. Sovereign is an uncommon back, not in the same league as Drum or Uzit, but unusual and seen less often than Piedmont or Sweet Caporal advertising backs. This card has bold colors, outstanding registration, moderate corner wear, and centering toward the top. The important advertising reverse is boldly printed and mostly clean. Scattered creasing factors into the assigned grade. Opening Bid $300.
