T205 Gold Border P.J. Moran No Stray Line of Type PSA VG 3

T205 Gold Border P.J. Moran (No Stray Line of Type) PSA 3 - Elusive Variant from One of Tobacco’s Most Elegant Sets

This PSA 3 example of P.J. Moran from the landmark 1911 T205 Gold Border set captures one of the notable print varieties within the release—the “No Stray Line of Type” variant, a distinction that has drawn increasing interest from seasoned collectors. While minor at a glance, the missing horizontal print line above the bio on the reverse (present on some versions) is a key identifier that helps distinguish production variances across printing runs.

The front of the card features a crisp portrait of the Philadelphia Phillies catcher, housed within the gilded frame design that defines the T205 series. Despite the technical PSA 3 grade, this copy delivers strong eye appeal, with bold color, clear facial features, and a well-centered image. Moderate corner wear and minor edge chipping are expected for the grade but do little to detract from its overall presentation.
