1909-11 T206 Old Mill Sam Crawford With Bat PSA 8

T206 Old Mill Sam Crawford With Bat PSA 8 – A Pop 2 Hall of Fame Legend

Before Babe Ruth redefined slugging, Sam Crawford was baseball’s original power threat. A Hall of Famer and longtime Detroit Tigers cornerstone, Crawford still holds the all-time record for career triples (309)—a testament to his strength, speed, and knack for finding the gaps in cavernous Deadball Era ballparks. Batting behind Ty Cobb in one of the most dangerous lineups of the early 20th century, Crawford was known for his quiet professionalism and devastating bat.

This “With Bat” pose from the iconic T206 set is one of his most dynamic, showing Crawford in a ready stance with a look of calm confidence. The bold colors and grounded composition give the card a strong visual presence—a true showcase of a pre-Ruthian slugger in his prime.

Graded PSA 8, this example is exceptionally rare—one of just two at this grade with none higher bearing the Old Mill Southern League back, a tougher and more desirable reverse that adds a layer of scarcity prized by advanced collectors. The card features razor-sharp corners, a clean surface, and superb centering, making it a true standout in any high-grade T206 run.
