The 1911 T201 Mecca Double Folders are a bit of an oddball issue, designed to be folded over to create essentially two cards in one. This one features one of the all-time great pitchers, Mordecai "Three Finger" Brown. Brown got his nickname as a result of a farming accident that left his right hand somewhat mangled, which apparently created some serious movement on his pitches. Brown won 239 games against only 130 losses, winning 20+ games over a 6-year stretch (including a 29-9 season in 1908). He led the league in several statistical categories over his career, and made the HOF in 1949. Hofman had a solid 14-year big league career as well. Graded 1 PR by PSA.
