T206 Piedmont 350 Topsy Hartsel PSA 4 - The Speedy Spark Plug of Connie Mack’s A’s

Topsy Hartsel may not be a household name today, but in the early 20th century, he was a key contributor to Connie Mack’s powerhouse Philadelphia Athletics teams. Known for his small frame, quick bat, and elite baserunning instincts, Hartsel led the American League in walks and runs scored at various points in his career and was a vital piece in multiple pennant-winning lineups.

This T206 Piedmont 350 issue captures Hartsel mid-swing, adorned in the old-style A’s uniform with a detailed stadium background—a perfect encapsulation of the Deadball Era’s aesthetic. Graded PSA 4, the card offers strong eye appeal for the grade, with vivid color, natural corner wear, and an overall clean presentation. The Piedmont back (Factory 25) remains crisp and well-centered, enhancing its appeal for back collectors and T206 purists alike.
