Graded EX-MT 6 by PSA. One of three examples of this front/back combination graded at this level by PSA with none higher. Beautiful T206 of Hall of Fame pitcher Walter Johnson (hands-at-chest) featuring a desirable Polar Bear advertising reverse. Polar Bears are an especially popular advertising back with collectors because of the distinct blue background and crisp white printing. Johnson, of course, is one of the key Hall of Famers in the T206 White Border set. The offered example displays a bright blue background, outstanding registration, and strong corners (weaker bottom left). The Polar Bear advertising reverse is boldly printed. This card would be a significant addition to any high-grade T206, Walter Johnson, or Hall of Fame card collection.
