Extraordinarily scarce and desirable postcard of Hall of Fame shortstop Honus Wagner. Graded GOOD+ by SGC due to overall wear most pronounced at the top corners the card's overall eye appeal is strong. The extreme scarcity of this card (and Rose Company Postcards in general) is noteworthy the ornate cards featuring a back and white player portrait photo in the center of a colorful frame. In this case it is the famous Carl Horner portrait of Wagner used for the photo lending to the desirability of the card. Along with the card of Ty Cobb the Wagner is the key to this very scarce set this example is one of just seven to be graded by SGC (with just two higher) with five more graded by PSA (four "A" and a "POOR"). An exceptional card in any grade among the most difficult and highly sought-after of all Wagner's cards. PLEASE NOTE: At the National Sports Collectors Convention in Cleveland we took the liberty of having this card reholdered using SGC's latest grading label. The card now resides in a fresh new holder and looks fantastic.
