1936 R312, National Chicle Premium⭐️Hans "Honus" Wagner & Floyd "Arky" Vaughan
I find it difficult to start any Tuesday better than a post of an iconic card of the hobby.
I bought this card raw in 2020 and held it until January 2026, when I hand carried it to PSA representatives.
I was rewarded for my over-protectiveness with a PSA 5 holder.
This is PSA's highest graded example of this card (shared with 3 others, POP 4).
Why do I love this card? ❤ Let me count the ways.
The image depicts a passing-of-the-torch between two legendary Pirate shortstops.
1. Hans "Honus" Wagner — Arguably one of the five greatest players in baseball history and the most iconic prewar baseball card subject.

2. Floyd "Arky" Vaughan — Hall of Fame Pirates shortstop and Wagner's successor in Pittsburgh.
Among Hall of Fame shortstops, Honus Wagner has the highest career batting average at .328 and Vaughan ranks immediately behind Wagner with a .318 career batting average.
