Richard "Rube" Marquard was for a time known as the "$11,000 Lemon". After two stellar minor league seasons the New York Giants purchased his contract for the record sum of 11 grand. His first big league season did not go well, as he posted a 5-13 W-L record and the "Lemon" nickname stuck. He did redeem himself however going 73-28 over the next three seasons (24-7, 26-11, 23-10). After that he was solid if not spectacular. He finished his 18-year career with a 201-177 W-L record, making his Hall of Fame election in 1971 somewhat controversial. This Portrait version grades a nice 3 VG by SGC!
