T206 Piedmont 350-460/25 Joe Lake (St. Louis, No Ball) PSA 5 - Tough Variation Featuring a Veteran of Baseball’s Formative Years

Joe Lake may not be a Hall of Famer, but his T206 appearances remain an intriguing case study for collectors chasing elusive pose and team variations within the set. This particular card, featuring Lake in his St. Louis uniform with the “No Ball” pose, is a desirable version—made even more appealing by its inclusion in the Piedmont 350-460 Factory 25 series, one of the more condition-sensitive and nuanced back types in the entire T206 run.

Graded PSA 5, this is a strong mid-grade copy with bold registration, well-defined details, and overall excellent presentation for its age. The image retains great contrast, and the card showcases even wear without significant distractions. The combination of team designation (St. Louis), pose (No Ball), and back type (Piedmont 350-460 Factory 25) makes this a particularly collectible issue within the broader T206 Lake checklist.

For set builders and variation hunters, this is a notable card that blends aesthetics and scarcity, offering a strong balance of eye appeal and historical nuance.
