No baseball player could possibly receive a greater honor than have an award named after him, the ultimate compliment to a player’s lifetime achievements. Yet, when you consider that Denton “Cy” Young won 511 baseball games, pitched over 7,000 innings, won over 20 games fifteen times and 30 games five times, it was a “no-brainer” when the baseball writers of America chose his name to forever represent pitching excellence. This offering provides the collector with extraordinary eye pleasing qualities consistent with its original release date a full century ago. This is the only PSA 8 with nothing graded higher with a sweet caporal back. There are only a total of 6 PSA 8's out of the 453 that have been graded by PSA and only 3 graded higher. This beautiful example was featured in PSA President, Joe Orlando's recently published Collecting Sports Legends book on page 46.
