1909-11 T206 Old Mill Admiral Schlei Batting PSA EX 5

T206 Old Mill Admiral Schlei Batting PSA 5 - An Old Mill Classic

The T206 Old Mill Admiral Schlei (Batting) captures the longtime catcher in a classic action pose from baseball’s Deadball Era. Schlei spent the majority of his Major League career with Cincinnati before joining the New York Giants, making this a great period representation from the legendary T206 issue.

Graded PSA EX 5, this example has survived more than a century at an appealing mid-grade level. The Old Mill advertising back gives the card additional character and is a less commonly encountered alternative to the familiar Piedmont and Sweet Caporal backs seen throughout the set.

Schlei was a respected defensive catcher who spent eight seasons in the majors and later played for John McGraw’s Giants. The T206 Old Mill Admiral Schlei Batting PSA 5 combines a distinctive tobacco back, strong preservation, and one of the set’s appealing action poses into a solid example for the dedicated T206 collector.
