There are five (yes, FIVE) different Hal Chase cards included in the T206 set, the most different cards of any person included in the set. This is his portrait with a pink background, which shows Prince Hal looking quite princely in his white collared shirt with NEW YORK across his chest. SGC deemed this offering worthy of a GOOD+ 2.5 grade primarily due to the soft, rounded corners, some light staining, and minor color/paper loss. A fingerprint near the top right corner is a unique marking on an otherwise beautiful Piedmont 150/25 back.

Although not a part of the Black Sox Scandal, Harold Homer "Hal" Chase  was permanently banned from baseball after the 1919 season for throwing baseball games. Chase had previously won a batting title after batting .339 during the 1916 season.
