Graded GOOD 2 by PSA. Superb T206 example of Hall of Famer Johnny Evers (with bat, Chicago on shirt) with the extremely rare Broad Leaf 460 advertising back. This is one of only three examples of this front/back combination graded between PSA and SGC (both PSA examples are graded GOOD 2). Broad Leaf 460 backs are striking, unusual, and extremely rare. Even a sample of a common player is one of the most difficult to find of all T206 advertising backs. Examples featuring Hall of Famers such as Johnny Evers are virtually impossible in any condition. While Broad Leaf 460 cards are by no means easy to find, the three backs ranking ahead on the list are considered by many to be nearly impossible (they are the Ty Cobb Tobacco brand back, Brown Old Mill, and Brown Lenox, respectively). This example has vibrant colors, impressive registration, even corner wear, and a light horizontal crease running through Evers' image. The Broad Leaf print on the reverse is exceptionally bold and crisp. A magnificent Hall of Fame example of one of the rarest and most desirable of all T206 advertising backs. Awarded an MBA Bronze Diamond by Mike Baker Authenticated for high-end eye appeal. A corresponding MBA sticker is affixed to the front of the holder.
