I've always wanted a few T206 cards in my collection and as many of you know I'm a die-hard Pittsburgh Pirate fan. I have always wanted the famous T206 Honus Wagner in my collection, but it's little over my budget, but in my book this one is close enough.

Here's a little info on Fred Clarke if you're asking your self who the hell is Fred Clarke.

With 2,678 career hits and 1,602 managerial wins, Fred Clarke excelled both on the field and in the dugout. In his first big league game, he went 5-for-5 on his way to fashioning a career .312 batting average and topping the .300 mark in 11 seasons. In 1903, he led the league in doubles and slugging average while piloting the Pirates to an appearance in the first modern World Series. A full-time player-manager in 16 of his 19 seasons at the helm, Clarke led his clubs to 14 first-place division finishes.

    Great pose and a HOF player so now you're rollin'....
    The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince the PSA 10 collector he didn't exist.

    Scott maybe you're thinking of John Wehner? He was a fine ball player for the Bucs.

    Thanks for the kind words guys I do appreciate it. I did picked up another big card the other day which I'm pretty excited about.
