Two T206 Pop 1s(with none higher): PSA 8 Cy Barger and PSA 8.5 "Dode" Paskert

[Davalillo]

Pop 1s among vintage cards are rare--especially for a set as popular as T206. I have traded away a few of my pop 1 and pop 2 T206s to allow me to complete the 1933 Goudey Sport Kings Set and once when someone offered me several thousand for one but I still have a few left.

Up on my blog today I posted pictures of T206s Cy Barger a pop 1 in PSA 8 with none higher and Dode "Honey Boy" Paskert a pop 1 8.5 that was bumped in a recent submission to PSA.

Eros Bolivar "Cy" Barger was a pitcher with the New York Highlanders of the American League from 1906-07 and the Brooklyn Superbas and Dodgers from 1910-1912. He also played first, short and the outfield. His career record was 46W-63L and his bating average .227.

George "Dode" or "Honey Boy" Paskert was an outfielder who played with the Phillies, Reds and Cubs from 1907-1921. His career ba was .268. He had 293 stolen bases and was a leader in walks. He was also one of the best defensive outfielders of his era.

Paskert was a hero who rescued 3 families from a fire in 1921, making 3 trips up a burning stairwell carrying out 5 children and suffering huge burns in the process. He loved the game and played until age 46 in the minors.
