Though the three-time RBI champion who earned an Americal League batting title in 1910, Sherry Magee obviously wasn't famous enough to prevent having his name misspelled on his portrait card from the T206 issue, creating one of the rarest variations in sports card history. Because the error was quickly discovered and corrected before the first run of "150 subjects" cards was released, the number of "Magie" cards in existence is thought to be about the same as the rare T206 Eddie Plank card and less than double the number of Honus Wagner cards. If you're an advanced T206 aficionado and need a respectable "Magie", today is the day you've been waiting for! The offered specimen is graded PSA 2.5 but looks even better due to the outstanding centering and evenly worn endpoints. The central image is superb, with a robust green field providing the backdrop for Magee's portrait, which is so finely detailed that you can actually see the individual hairs through the light reflecting off of his head. If you've always dreamed of owning a genuine "Magie" variation, the time has come to go get it!
