Today's post features Nap Rucker and the always gorgeous T206 set. Nap has two poses in the set, Portrait and Throwing. Here's the Throwing Pose, complete with a Piedmont 350-460/Factory 25 Back and slabbed by SGC as a 30. It was an eBay pickup earlier this year and presents way, way better than the grade due to a lot of back staining and a spot of paper loss on said reverse.
Rucker was the first Dodgers' lefty to throw a no-hitter; was the son of a Confederate soldier; was a teammate of Ty Cobb who almost choked him while naked (you really can't make this stuff up); and was a successful scout for Brooklyn as well as the mayor and water commissioner of Roswell, Georgia post-career.
I wanna read the story about Cobb... but then again... I don't.
