1933 Goudey Tommy Thevenow #36 PSA 5 MC (Autograph Grade 8). Only 5 Thevenow 1933 Goudeys have been authenticated by PSA/DNA - the others include 3 "authentic" and one PSA 2MC grades. Thomas Joseph Thevenow (September 6, 1903 – July 29, 1957) was a shortstop who played MLB from 1924 to 1938 for the St. Louis Cardinals, Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates, Cincinnati Reds, and Boston Bees. Thevenow epitomized the good-fielding shortstops that prevailed in the era, ending his career with a fielding percentage of .947, but a batting average of .247 while hitting only two home runs in his 15-year career. He hit two home runs in 1926, both inside-the-park home runs, and then never hit another home run in his next 12 seasons, setting a major league record of 3,347 consecutive at bats without a home run. Part of The Uncle Jimmy Collection.
