This 1909-11 T206 Rube Marquard Hands at Thighs card has earned a PSA 3 VG grade. The T206 tobacco set is the most celebrated pre-war baseball issue, and Marquard appears in several poses, with this variation showing the New York Giants left-hander standing with his hands at his thighs. A PSA 3 VG example offers solid eye appeal for Hall of Fame and pre-war collectors.
Rube Marquard pitched for the New York Giants, Brooklyn Robins, Cincinnati Reds, and Boston Braves across an 18-season career. He won a record 19 consecutive games in 1912 and helped the Giants and Brooklyn reach multiple World Series. Marquard is a National Baseball Hall of Fame (HOF) inductee (1971).
