Hi everyone
I picked up this HOFer Jennings T3 PSA 5 upgrade for my set.
It's so much better than the 4 I had. This one I picked up raw and thought it was overgraded. I will be putting it up for auction to help pay for the 5.

Thanx!
It's on the registry - I'm at 27% - I'm not moving very fast.
It's from the 20s.
This one is chromolithographic - nice colors and in really nice shape - it's about 3/8" thick.
Lee - the upper left corner has a pretty good crimp in it:
That would kill any card.

<< <i>The T3s in general are such beautiful cards, and that Jennings you have is stunning. Great visual appeal.

Thanx Mike.
I've done that a few times myself back at Columbia. Hope you're enjoying the evening!

Hughie was quite the flamboyant character.
A superb ML player and was a manager of the the Detroit Tigers for over a decade. He holds the record - I believe - for being hit the most by pitchers.

I think the stance shows an unbridled passion for the joy of the game, a trait that seems to be missing from most modern players. I'll take Jennings' exuberance any day over the "don't give a sh.." attitude of a lot of today's ballplayers. I think modern guys would only show that type of exuberance when they see their first direct deposit of their first paycheck

Always like seeing these old pictures that show where the card images came from. Makes it seem more contemporary. The old cards are great but as drawings they give that antebellum vibe.

Updated the above to reflect today's reality for the TMZ crowd.

That's a huge upgrade in eye appeal for a 1 grade difference, congrats!

Anybody else notice that the runner is sliding into home from the first base side?

Good eye!
My take? Error in thinking like a reverse negative thing.
These are litho style printings - so the printing is "direct" - the artist neglected to "reverse" the action on the plate so that it would come up on the proper side.
Truth or dare? I missed that Dan.
Never thought the antics of a ball player like Hughie could hit the controversy button? Go figure.

Lol in today's society many are eager to be offended. That's a hell of a card Mike!

Hughie must have loved to jump up and down. That picture and the card are different poses ... jumping on different legs!

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

Your Chief Bender is sweet! But you need to update your note at the top
I guess this will be a slightly contrarian view here. Your 5 is so technically above the 4 it's almost irritating. I mean, it's so much cleaner, intact and close to being as it was when given to the original eager recipient 102 or so years ago. Very, very amazing what the difference one numerical grade can bring and I agree with the others that the 5 should be a 6, though your raw honesty of the severity of the upper left crimp probably sank a seven or 6.5 to a 5. Still, isn't that what we love? A beautiful fresh-looking card with an itzie-bitzie corner ding that donged the card to a 5, which in turn severely thwarted the aggressive pre-war gents from bidding that baby much, much higher. You win, they comfort themselves in their narcissistic numerical standards. But then I'm the same way, pointing a finger at them, with three of mine pointed back at me.
As for my contrarian view, I find the very rich colors of your 4 much more eye appealing than the 5. Thus, you should get good money for your "EE-Hah! Hughie" to very much offset the price of the 5. Wishing you the best on this and congratulations on the upgrade. ---Indiana Jones (Brian Powell)
Question on the punch board - are the results (hit, out, etc.) on the back of each punch out?
<< <i>Beautiful T3. With the size of the cards and borders, there are some great deals to be had on lower-grade versions, it seems.

Hiya Scott
Thanx.
On the punch board - here's what the back looks like - that's about all I know.
+1 congrats.

That was kind of my reaction. There's something wrong in Denmark when a grading system can have two cards THAT far apart in quality be just 1 grade apart.
That 5 of Jennings is as nice a T3 as I've ever seen. Really, really nice card. Well done!
