Description
Nick Maddox made baseball history by throwing a no-hitter for Pittsburgh as a 20-year-old rookie in 1907, becoming one of the youngest pitchers ever to accomplish the feat. His beautifully illustrated T206 portrait, backed by a Sweet Caporal advertisement, comes from an era when baseball cards were still packaged as tobacco premiums rather than traditional collectibles. The SGC 3.5 grade preserves a genuine piece of Pirates and prewar baseball history more than a century after Maddox took the mound.
