T206 Piedmont 350 Sam Strang PSA 4 - A Glimpse into the Utility Man of the McGraw-Era Giants

In the rugged, dirt-and-sawdust era of early 20th-century baseball, Sam Strang made his mark as a versatile and dependable utility man for the New York Giants. Known for his ability to play multiple infield positions and deliver clutch hits, Strang was a favorite of fiery Giants manager John McGraw—fitting seamlessly into the aggressive, strategic style that defined the team during the Deadball Era.

This T206 Piedmont 350 example captures Strang in a calm, confident portrait, bat tucked on shoulder, set against the series’ classic lithographic background. Graded PSA 4, this copy holds excellent mid-grade appeal with bold coloring, even wear, and well-preserved eye appeal for its age. The Piedmont back remains clean and legible, offering a crisp link to its Factory 25 printing origin.

Though not a household name like Mathewson or McGraw, Sam Strang represents the unsung glue that held early championship clubs together.
