The 200-card 1917 Collins-McCarthy "Baseball's Hall of Fame" issue is the company's only non-PCL set.  Printed on thin stock and featuring black and white player photos with a thick, gloss surface, the set is loaded with stars and Hall of Famers, and has become incredibly popular among collectors in recent years due to player selection and scarcity.  The glossy surfaces are also subject to wear, resulting in some condition-sensitivity that makes high-grade examples difficult to obtain.  We have been fortunate over the last several auctions to have secured several different consignments of cards from this issue, including this example featuring Eddie Cicotte, noted participant in the 1919 Black Sox scandal.  Graded EX/NM 6 by SGC, the card is sharp and clean, slightly off-center with light corner touches.  An exceptional card from a difficult issue, of a highly desirable player.
