This gorgeous example features Boston 1B Fred Beck reaching down to catch a throw from a teammate. The dark green trees and beautiful blue sky in the background add to the different shades of green grass in the foreground, making this card visually stunning with Beck's long-sleeved white uniform and white cap. Some versions of this card are missing the red ink which gives further detail and adds one more splash of color, but this example has the full color printing.

Centering is south and east on the canvas, with rounded corners and light soiling near the edges explaining the technical grade. PSA has only ever graded 23 total examples of this Old Mill back version of the Beck, with only nine receiving a higher grade than the VG 3 offered here.

Frederick Thomas Beck led MLB with 10 home runs in 1910 as a member of the Boston Doves of the National League. His short career lasted only five total seasons; 1909-1911 in the National League, and 1914-1915 in the Federal League. His 1915 Chi-Feds won the Federal League Championship.
