Great portrait T206 of the HOF catcher, Roger Bresnahan. Bresnahan began his pro career as a pitcher before moving behind the plate. He registered a lifetime .279 batting average, on the high side fort catcher's that plied their trade in the deadball era. He also compiled a 328–432 managerial win–loss record. Bresnahan popularized the use of protective equipment in baseball by introducing shin guards. After retiring as a player, Bresnahan remained active in professional baseball as owner of the minor league Toledo Mud Hens, while also coaching for the Giants and Detroit Tigers. Graded a visually strong 3 VG by PSA, with superb color and perfect registration. It does carry a mk qualifier, that appears to be the result of a small mark in the upper right hand border area. There are higher grade examples that do not look as nice as this one!
