Graded Authentic by PSA. Cap Anson, baseball's first superstar, was the dominant on-field figure of nineteenth-century baseball. He was a small-town boy from Iowa who earned his fame as the playing manager of the fabled Chicago White Stockings, the National League team now known as the Cubs. A larger-than-life figure of great talents and great faults, Anson managed the White Stockings to five pennants and set all the batting records that men such as Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth later broke. Anson was the second manager to win 1,000 games and the first player to stroke 3,000 hits. The offered card appears to a medium to heavy ink stain that runs from the bottom to the middle of the card and through to the reverse giving way to its grade of Authentic Altered by PSA. Strong EX to near EX/MT corners surround this image.
