I snagged another new Hall of Famer and oddball item all wrapped up into one for less than a blaster and a half. It is both my first 1913 National Game card and my first card of Roger Bresnahan. It's a wonderful vintage addition.
It's slabbed an SGC 30 and I think it's slightly undergraded. It presents very well for the grade and the back really stands out. The red pops so much more in-hand.
Bresnahan's SABR profile is fascinating and I'd recommend it. He played all nine positions; pitched a complete game shutout in his debut at 18 years old before being released a year later during a salary dispute; was one of the first catchers to bat at the top of the lineup; and helped bring into the game a number of equipment and safety measures for catchers.
Bresnahan also formed a battery with some guy named Christy Mathewson.
