1915 Cracker Jack Mordecai Brown #32 PSA NM-MT 8 - None Higher. A childhood farming accident proved to be a blessing in disguise for the 1949 posthumous Hall of Fame inductee Mordecai Brown. "That old paw served me pretty well in its time," Brown once said of the injured hand that earned him the "Three Finger" nickname. "It gave me a firmer grip on the ball, so I could spin it over the hump. It gave me a greater dip." From 1904 to 1912, all with the Chicago Cubs, Brown would average a 21-9 W-L record with an era of 1.75. His 2.06 career ERA ranks him sixth all-time best in baseball history after contemporaries Joe Wood, Ed Walsh, Jack Pfiester, Jim Devlin and Addie Joss.

Graded PSA NM-MT 8. One of seven in NM-MT. None have rated higher. This card is a colorful and fitting statement worthy of being one of the final cards featuring Brown during his career which by 1915 saw him pitch with St. Louis of the Federal League. This card offers a tremendous amount of quality and little in terms of flaws.
